Chapter 283 Treasure Non-treasures
Just when people in the capital were worried about smallpox, the matter of Pingzhou's hidden treasure quietly opened its eyebrows.
In Yan Kaizhi's words, Hongyi smashed a pair of luminous cups one after another as soon as he received the news. Shaohua felt very confused when he heard the words, so he asked curiously why he smashed a pair, and whether there was any Taoist practice or something deep in it. Yan Kaizhi turned his head and looked at her with a stiff face, as if he were a serious and good student. Shouldn't he be angry or laugh for a moment?
Shaohua looked at him with an innocent and puzzled expression, "Isn't it? Even if the second master's family has many cups, it's okay to smash one. Why do you have to smash a pair? How wasteful it is.
Yan Kaizhi shook his head helplessly. The originally solemn atmosphere was so stabbed by her, but it became a joke. "The Xu family really poked the hornet's nest this time. The second master is very angry."
Yan Kaizhi told Shaohua what the Xu family had done in Pingzhou over the years, which made her eyes stare like a cow bell, and she couldn't vent her anger when she fell straight into several pairs of cups. Those who bully the people and dominate the market are trivial. They collude with the gents, bribe the imperial historian, rob Taoist officials and silver, occupy mountains as kings, and even secretly collect some nearby towns under their names and levy all kinds of harsh taxes. The reason why the famous Huaicheng suppression bandits went so smoothly in those years was not because of the help of the He family, but because these mountain thieves were originally instructed by the Xu family. As early as they learned of their arrival, many people had withdrawn. If it hadn't been for Yan Kaizhi, they would have been prepared. They would have been divided into two ways and confused. I'm afraid they wouldn't even be able to touch the fur.
Hongyi is not the previous emperor. He knows far more about Pingzhou than the previous emperor. It's not that the late emperors were confused, but the late emperors stared at Doro, and they had no time to take care of their affairs, and also gave these people the opportunity to fish in troubled waters. Hongyi knew that the water in Pingzhou was very deep, and now he took the opportunity to touch it in the treasure and crab array. Unexpectedly, the water was deep and mixed. If the roots were uprooted at once, I was afraid that half of the officials would fall into the water.
No wonder the Xu family never wanted to go to Beijing. In Pingzhou, they were completely the local emperors. Relying on the marriage with the He family, and the He family had a strong backing, it was difficult to say that the merchants were excluded. Therefore, Hongyi was first angry at the Xu family's actions, and then involved too many things that could not be eradicated in one fell swoop.
"So, the treasure map was fabricated by the merchant?" Shaohua looked a little disappointed and thought there was such a thing as treasure.
"No, there is indeed a treasure, but this treasure is not gold, silver and jewelry." Yan Kaizhi's tone became low and solemn, as if he was revealing some secret, but Shaohua didn't care, "What a treasure is without gold, silver and jewelry."
No matter how precious the collection of famous previous dynasty is, it can't compare with the gold of the mountains. Although this metaphor is vulgar, it also just shows that everything is valuable.
Yan Kaizhi saw that Shaohua did not know and did not want to say more. He just vaguely explained that there was a lonely book in the previous dynasty, which involved the imperial art of Quan Xue. Unfortunately, in the early days of the founding of the country, I didn't know where it was. I always thought it was burned into ashes with the court fire, but I didn't expect it to be with Uncle Xiao.
In fact, this kind of thing is very taboo no matter who, although it is just a pile of black and white words. No one knows that it's okay. Once the wind is leaked, it will be indefensible and guilty. However, this is indeed in the hands of Mrs. Ye Wan, and after such a long time, there is nowhere to be investigated.
Yan Kaizhi was a little worried, and probably Hongyi's current thoughts were all on that ancient book.
It is said that there are demons in the book. Once they are uncertain, they will be swallowed up and obsessed all day long. It was because of the fascination of this ancient book that Zhenzong of the previous dynasty was invaded by the king of the answer at that time. The emperor of Taizu led the 22 commanders to expel the answer army and seized the position of Zhenzong before he established Daqing. The original response army was severely defeated, and then there was an infighting and divided into three tribes, of which the most powerful was Doro. The Rob people simply gave up the power struggle and led the group to live on the White Mountain, voluntarily attached to the wings of Daqing. And the rest of the Yuyue clan gradually lost contact because it was excluded by Doro and had no border with Daqing.
There are not many people who know this book. Even the previous dynasty has been hiding in the palace. No one knows who wrote it, let alone when it appeared, so no one can say the name of this book so far. I heard that Gaozu of the previous dynasty got this book and won the world, but later I didn't hear anyone mention it again until the reign of Emperor Renzong of the previous dynasty. According to historical records, Renzong got this book as if it was too late to meet. After that, he immersed himself in it day and night, ignored the government all day long, and held the book until the day of his death.
According to reason, this book should have been buried, but Xingzong, who succeeded to the throne, felt that there was suspicion and deliberately kept it. But if Xingzong knew that only two generations of kings had died since then, he probably burned the book with his own hands. Unfortunately, the history books are vaguely recorded. No one knows what the book looks like and what is written in it. They only listen to the old man in the palace preach: This book is extremely evil. As long as you have a desire to read in your heart, the book will have different contents.
Although Yan Kaizhi does not believe in this kind of evil way, some things vary from person to person. Gaozu gets books to win the world, and Zhenzong loses the country because of books. This may be a cause and effect, but it also shows that it varies according to people's hearts. It's a lie to say that he is not worried about Hongyi. Now that the royal family is full of blood, and Duo Luo is ready to move. With such a wolf ambition as the Xu family, Yan Kaizhi has to worry that he will repeat the mistakes of the previous dynasty.
Shaohua saw that one of Yan Kai was immersed in thought and gently pushed him, showing a worried expression. Yan Kaizhi didn't expect to be distracted for so long. He coughed awkwardly and turned his face away. Seeing that he didn't want to mention it, Shaohua changed the topic: "Is that Mrs. Zhuan's tomb?"
Yan Kaizhi shook his head, "It can only be said that it is a tomb, and even the merchants don't know where Mrs. Yang is buried."
Shaohua said in surprise, "Why don't you even know the merchants? Didn't you say that you died of illness in Pingzhou?"
Yan Kaizhi nodded with a very serious expression, "According to the merchant, the merchant wanted to remember his concubine's son in the name of Mrs. Zhuan, but he was rejected and even made a scene, and almost wrote a letter of divorce."
Shaohua was scared by this strong-sex woman and asked, "Who wrote the divorce book?" It won't be Mrs. Xuan, can it?" Although Mrs. Yu is not a princess, in her capacity, even if she divorces, the merchant will be punished. Not to mention Mrs. Yixuan's family background, how could the merchant be stupid enough to give up this door? Then, the merchant must disagree.
Yan Kaizhi smiled and acquiesced to her words, "Naturally, the merchant will not agree, so Mrs. Hao has no children in her name, and the rest of her dowry is unknown. This is the reason why the treasure map attracted the attention of the Xu He family. If it is really Mrs. Wan's dowry, it must be a lot of wealth. Moreover, since she has no children and refuses to leave it to the merchants, it is naturally on a first-come, first-served basis.
Forced by the intervention of the palace, the merchant had no choice but to confess. Before her death, Mrs. Xuan refused to return to the merchant and lived outside alone, and even her husband refused to meet her. After her death, the merchant got the news from her personal servant. When the large team rushed there, it had already gone to the empty building and even the corpse capital disappeared. The merchant was afraid of being pursued by the Xiao family and the palace, so he had to hurriedly arrange a funeral and pretend to have been buried.
A legendary woman's life is over, and even her death is a mystery.
Shaohua was a little distracted. She seemed to understand that after an unmarried woman married her husband's house, she found that her husband was not as obsessed as her own, the difficulties of serving concubines, the greed of the mother-in-law's family, and the pain of losing her son were enough to smash an iron heart. Perhaps it was because she was so desperate that there was no way back that she even disdained to be buried in her husband's ancestral grave. Such a woman is commendable and regrettable, but Shaohua only feels sorry for her.
Because I was so fascinated by her deeds since I was a child that after knowing the truth, I suddenly felt empathy. It was not until Yan Kaizhi wiped her tears that Shaohua found that she was deeply in love.
Yan Kaizhi didn't expect Shaohua to be so excited about Mrs. Ying. He smiled and said, "You're just right. Don't be too sentimental."
Shaohua spit out his tongue, "I've been fine for a long time. Now I can go out for a few laps."
Seeing that she was immediately lively, Yan Kaizhi did not complain that when she got up this morning, she got up too hard and ended up lying in ** for a long time. Only when I'm in good shape can I give birth to more sons. Or how lonely a child is. Yan Kaizhi made a mockery, and Shaohua immediately blushed and immediately stopped jumping.
"Didn't you agree to wait for your son to be older? Why did you mention this again?" Shaohua is scared. A fan ball alone is enough for her to be busy. If she has another child now, she can't be dizzy.
Yan Kaizhi was very happy by her busy appearance and was about to make fun of her. If she refused to give birth, she would let other women give birth. But when the words came to his mouth, he immediately paused, put away his smile, and whispered, "I heard that Xu has smallpox."
Shaohua immediately showed surprise, and then quickly calmed down. "That's her fault."
Yan Kaizhi looked at her calmly, "Xu Zixiang has come to see me several times."
Shaohua frowned at him and was a little unhappy, "Do you want the Xu family to take her back?"
Yan Kaizhi did not shake his head or nod. "The Xu family is now a mud bodhisattva crossing the river, and it is difficult to protect himself. It is rare for Xu Zixiang to still care about this sister." After Shaohua could speak, Yan Kaizhi said again, "Xu Ziang has left the palace. It seems that the Xu family has to go to Beijing this time."
After such a big incident, Hongyi will no longer put the Xu family so far away. Although he did not take back their fiefdom, he found an excuse to call the owner into the capital and circle him around him, which is safer than letting him go outside.
When the Xu family went to Beijing, it seems that Xu Xinru's matter is not easy to deal with. She also plans to wait for a few more days until Xu Xinru dies of illness, and then send Shuiling back. As for whether the Xu family can forgive her, it depends on Xu Zixiang's ability. But in this case, not to mention that Shuiling has not received due retribution, I'm afraid that Xu Xinru has also escaped the disaster. Shaohua knew in her heart that if Xu Xinru returned to Xu's house, she would certainly not give up.
Therefore, she must get rid of Xu Xinru before the Xu family enters Beijing.
