Chapter 146 The stars look like this but not last night(1/3)
The vast Prince Geng's Mansion has all the furnishings, institutional settings and entourage equipment. It is almost the same as the royal palace. It is just like a smaller version of the royal palace.
However, the place was sparsely populated after nightfall, because Geng Jimao ordered more than once that there was no need to wait for people to enter the house after nightfall, and he even personally killed the servants who came out at night.
There was an empty courtyard in Prince Geng's mansion, which was particularly cold.
There is an incense burner in the empty room that has not been lit, and the furnishings are suitable for both uses. When burning incense on weekdays, along with the smoke curling up, the clouds and smoke on the table disturb the artistic conception, which is very graceful. But now in such a big house, there is only a slovenly man huddled up.
Noble person.
The jade belt of his brocade robe was torn to pieces by itself, and one of his boots fell off at some point. The room was filled with fragments of smashed porcelain and silk curtains. The smell of alcohol everywhere had turned into a strong sour taste due to settling for too long.
The stench, mixed with an indescribable stench, floated in the air.
On the floor tiles not far away, there is a trace of crawling filth, which looks like a struggling and twisted human figure. The corpse water has indelibly penetrated deeply into the cracks between the bricks and stones. It looks hideous and terrifying, like a lying corpse.
film.
It's very strange. A corpse that has been dead for three days seems to have no connection with a person who has disappeared for half a day.
The servants of the palace also clearly saw the boy coming out to get drinks, but when everyone looked at each other and stepped back, noticing the deep secrets on each other's faces, everything became mysterious and shuddering.
Outside the room with the doors and windows closed, there was a sudden flash of fire, and then the sound of footsteps. They hurriedly approached and without stopping, they pushed open the door that everyone in the palace was avoiding.
"Your Majesty, Fuwei Escort Agency came late to rescue us, please forgive me!"
The person in front of me was lost and lost, and only lost and lost.
The young prince was in despair, his eyes were full of exhaustion from not sleeping for days, and his spirit was numb to the extreme. He felt like a piece of rotten wood floating on the water, and he could hear an empty and rotten sound whenever he tapped on his chest.
Fuwei Escort Agency?
It's nothing more than a chess piece, a useless and useless chess piece.
He had long known Lin Zhennan's move to sneak his men out of the city, but he had no intention of stopping him. He would rather watch Lin Zhennan jump into the trap thinking he was wise.
He originally had a lot of chess pieces like this in his hand, and Fuwei Escorts was just an ordinary piece. But now, those carefully arranged killing moves were quietly useless, and a charlatan from Fuwei Escorts who sneaked in alone, and
What use can it be put to?
"Your Majesty, I'm here to take you out. Please wash up and change clothes immediately, and come out to take charge of the overall situation!"
The loud voice made the young prince's ears ring and he suffered from constant headaches and unbearable pain. However, he didn't even think of covering his ears. He stared blankly at the floor tiles in front of him, and his eyelids took a long time to blink.
The extremely chapped lips were covered with dark brown blood scabs. It took a long time for him to murmur and tremble, but his vocal cords did not move at all.
Go out...ridiculous...
He has nowhere to go.
The entire history of this body once named Geng Jingzhong was born on the day he walked out of the confinement of the Forbidden City, and died on the moment he entered the confinement of Prince Geng's Mansion. Everything was just right, just like the most skilled Western painters drew it with ease.
of circle.
In the few days before they were imprisoned, Zeng Yangxing, Bai Xianzhong, Xu Wenyao and others took turns coming back to visit and convey news from the outside world through secret messages. However, in just two days, there was no news from these confidants who had tried their best to win over, and the news spread out by themselves.
The news also fell into obscurity.
"Your Majesty, the situation is very critical now. I saw a group of Eight Banners stationed in the city, and they were under the name of General Annan. Their behavior was very suspicious."
General Annan...Dasu?
By the way, it's him...
The prince's dull eyes dodge with pain like acupuncture.
A few months ago, Zheng Chenggong invaded the south of the Yangtze River. The Qing government sent General Da Su of Annan to conquer the area. However, when he arrived, the Zheng family had already been defeated. He continued to march south to Siming Prefecture, intending to attack the Zheng family's lair.
It is reasonable for this person to enter Fuzhou to rest his troops and replenish his supplies.
But what is unusual is that Da Su, who abandoned his army and led 500 light cavalry soldiers to arrive in the city first, also brought two men named Geng Zhaozhong and Geng Juzhong...
The imperial envoy declared himself guilty of treason, and the general sent back two other hostages to be held hostage. The imperial court's intention was self-evident.
The peer sitting high in the Jinluan Palace didn't seem to say anything, but everyone understood that their heir apparent would no longer be his heir apparent, and the confinement was no longer protection, but had become a complete punishment.
The recent cold reception immediately became a matter of course, and the young prince understood it.
"Dasu...what are you going to do..."
It hurt even to speak, as if there was a razor blade stuck in his throat. As his vocal cords vibrated slightly, blood flowed from his throat, and a strong smell of rust came out of his mouth.
"That's it. I saw someone under the banner of General Annan rushing to the West Lake at starry night. Then they drove away the soldiers left behind by the prince, took over the drainage of tree embankments and the fortifications of building a pond around the lake, and immediately excavated the ancient stone in the center of the lake.
temple."
Ancient temple in the middle of the lake?
As expected, they also had the idea of Baohuang Temple.
The young prince rolled his eyes, but his usually bright thoughts were extremely slow. It took him a long time to figure out this simple question.
After the Li family in the Southern Tang Dynasty conquered the Fujian Kingdom, it is said that they sent strong soldiers to demolish the Imperial Palace on Jiuxian Mountain. The Imperial Palace in the palace was chopped down and burned with Southern Tang knives, at the cost of hundreds of lives.
The building and boat were scuttled and buried with him, and then the emperor was sunk forever into the depths of the Minjiang River.
The ugly accountant in the Fuwei Escort Agency had long ago presented the inscription of the "Long Qi Stele of the Imperial Palace". Geng Jimao sent people to dig up three mountains and two towers but failed to find clues about the Imperial Palace. In fact, he had long ago grasped the clues.
inside.
He guessed that the Li family of the Southern Tang Dynasty had clearly put on a big show and deceived everyone!
He knew that the reason why the Imperial Palace was built on the top of the Jiuxian Mountain was not because Min Huizong Zhongqing was there, but because the Imperial Palace was only there!
"madness……"
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! The young prince showed disdain, and there were many people who did not know their importance, and Dasu sent by the Qing court was the leader among them.
The reason why Dasu was able to lead an army south to put down the rebellion on his own was not only due to his status as XHQ, but also because of his inflexible eagle-dog nature, which had long been trained to the point of being empty-headed by the Aixinjueluo family's method of making eagles.
The experience in the Qing Palace was still vivid in his mind, and the young prince was still unwilling to lose in front of these eagle and dog minions, even if it was just a step!
"More than stupid, simply stupid!"
The people at Fuwei Escort laughed so frivolously that the young prince felt vaguely offended.
"Dasu sent people to lower the river into the water to no avail, so he ordered people to dig out the mud and try to lift the ancient temple. Not long after, they dug out a ferocious cast-iron river-controlling beast in the mud. It collapsed and killed three more people.
The situation could not get out of control for a while, and the pro-military troops tried their best to suppress it, so they did not blow up the camp and retreated to the shore in dejection."
The news shared by the visitors made him feel comfortable all over. At this time, only the pain experienced by others could make him smile with empathy - and the proud smiles of others were to him the most heart-wrenching poison in the world.
The sea eye dug out during the construction of the city in the Western Jin Dynasty is itself an unfathomable place. The Li family of the Southern Tang Dynasty claimed that the Emperor Zun had been carried by a building ship and sank into the depths of the Minjiang River. In fact, it was just to hide the truth from the sky. The real Emperor Zun
It is very likely that he was hidden in that ancient temple and was thrown into the sea by the helpless Lord of the Southern Tang Dynasty, never to be seen again.
This method is extremely secretive. If future generations were not 100% sure, they would never expend public energy to excavate the bottom of the lake, thus avoiding many future troubles.
It's just that the young prince still can't figure out what kind of terrifying existence the Emperor is that makes the leader of the country who carries the power of the victorious army so fearful. It also makes Li Jing seriously believe that the Emperor is "divine power" who claims to ask for everything.
, is only valid for the Fujian Wang family, and then they will be expelled and suppressed at any cost!
"They are working in vain!"
The young prince suddenly laughed wildly, gnashing his teeth. It was not clear whether it was because of pain or pleasure, "If this ancient temple could be easily revealed, our Geng family wouldn't have to worry so much..."
At this point, the prince's face was suddenly illuminated by candlelight, and the words he just spoke turned into a sharp knife in his heart, and he was like a poor guy who had just woken up from a pleasant dream. At this time, the person in front of him had the residual wine faded due to his blood.
The drunkard was left with only pain all over his body and residual resentment that could not be numbed and extinguished.
Where does he have any Geng family?
Jiang Wen knelt down, placed the lamp in front of Geng Jingzhong, and showed a strange expression.
"The prince's trick of pretending to be crazy but not crazy is quite clever. It is indeed a clever plan to avoid disasters. It was the same as what happened to Pang Juan back then. If it weren't for bad luck and the situation being greater than the situation, the prince would have been able to slay a dragon and fly into the sky."
Geng Jingzhong, who had not seen bright light for a long time, squinted his eyes and looked around for a long time before he could see Jiang Wen's face clearly.
"Are you... a guest of the Lin family?"
Geng Jingzhong blocked the light with his palms and sat defiantly squinting at Jiang Wen, "I saw you at a banquet. Chang Qingzi said during a private meeting that your martial arts must be strong."
Then he smiled self-deprecatingly, "It's a pity that things changed after the banquet. Now you can no longer be a guest of the Lin family, and I am no longer the heir apparent of the Geng family."
Jiang Wen said modestly: "Headmaster Changqingzi has given you the reward. Your Majesty, I came to rescue you on the orders of the chief escort officer. I would like to ask Mr. Huang from Eryouzhai what he told you."
The young prince smiled slightly and said sarcastically.
"My lord, Mr. Lin, is so grateful that he can think of me despite his busy schedule."
Jiang Wen pretended not to hear the other party's sarcasm and looked at him with stern eyes. The threat of exchange was already evident in his words. Only if Geng Jingzhong exchanged information would he rescue him as promised.
Geng Jingzhong remained silent for a long time with a gloomy expression before slowly telling what Jiang Wen wanted to know.
The accountant of Fuwei Escort once told him that during the Northern and Southern Dynasties, Wang Ba, a Qi practitioner, lived on Jiuxian Mountain in Fuzhou.
He saw two acacia trees on the mountain, which were lush and leafy. He liked them very much, so he built an earthen altar under the trees as a place for worship and practice day and night. Later, Wang Ba succeeded in refining the elixir and transformed into the breeze and left.
He said to people: "My descendants should be kings here."
He even made his own prophecies and buried them underground. One of them wrote:
When the tree is withered, there is no need to cut it down; when the altar is broken, there is no need to bear fruit.
Less than a thousand years later, it has its own descendants.
