Chapter 348
"Lu Gong's Secret Records!" Li Xiao's eyes widened. He had never heard of this thing. But looking at the concubine Wang's words of assurance, it didn't seem to be false.
"This matter should start from the time when Taizu was an old man!" Wang, the concubine of King Lu, sat opposite Li Xiao and began to talk.
Damn it! This is a long story. Li Xiao is a good listener. He is sitting upright and waiting for Mr. Wang to tell him a story. On a lonely autumn night, if someone tells a story to him, he is definitely welcome.
.If that person happens to be a beautiful woman, then it is a warm welcome.
"When Taizu Long came to the south of the Yangtze River, no one thought that Taizu could defeat the Mongols and regain the Han Dynasty. Therefore, the counselor Zhu Sheng proposed the strategy of building high walls, hoarding grain, and slowly becoming king."
"I know this. Later, Taizu defeated Chen Youliang and Zhang Shicheng and finally unified Jiangnan. Then, the two kings of Kaiping in Zhongshan sent their troops north to regain their homeland in the Central Plains." Li Xiao was very familiar with that period of history.
Throughout the history of China, the unification wars of all dynasties were fought from north to south. Only this time, Zhu Yuanzhang sent Chang Yuchun and Xu Da to attack from south to north. In the end, they defeated the fierce Mongolian cavalry and successfully regained the old land of China.
Because there were few, Li Xiao remembered the military operation of this counterattack.
"Yes, the governor is indeed exploiting many talents. I wonder if the governor has ever known that there was a famous rich man in Jiangnan named Shen Wansan." Wang blinked her beautiful eyes and gave Li Xiao a sugary eight plus number.
smile.
"Of course I know that this guy was eventually killed by Emperor Taizu."
Li Xiao naturally knew that Shen Wansan was an unlucky guy who wanted to spend money to flatter Zhu Yuanzhang, but he accidentally slapped the horse's leg. In anger, Lao Zhu killed Shen Wansan. He also confiscated Shen Wansan's wealth.
It is said that Zhu Yuanzhang did make a huge fortune that year.
"Yes! The matter will fall on Shen Wansan!
At that time, Shen Wansan did not hesitate to invest in building the city wall of Nanjing in order to preserve his billions of net worth. However, Taizu not only wanted to build the city wall, he also wanted Shen Wansan's entire net worth. At that time, Taizu was too poor, and Taizu did not know.
Whether he can win the battle for the world.
Shen Wansan's family was confiscated and his family was exterminated. His net worth was indeed gold and silver. However, Taizu only spent a small part of it as military expenses. However, it was said that all of Shen Wansan's money was used for military supplies.
At that time, even Taizu was not sure that the Zhu family would be able to conquer the world. At that time, Bei Yuan, Zhang Shicheng, and the ambitious Chen Youliang were not easy to mess with. On the battlefield, the dragon-blooded black and yellow soldiers were fierce and dangerous.
, if one mistake is not made, the whole army may be in danger of being destroyed.
Taizu, the old man, thinking about Zhu Sheng's words, took out 80% of the gold, silver, jade and antiques in Shen Wansan's house and found a place to hide them. Once the army was defeated, the descendants of the Zhu family could make a comeback through these money. They had to.
He said, Taizu’s foresight and foresight.”
"Shen Wansan's treasure?" Li Xiao narrowed his eyes.
It is said that Shen Wansan's family is really rich. Someone once described Shen Wansan's money as "gold is like a mountain, silver is like the sea, pearls are like grass, and beauties are like cattle and sheep."
How much money would it take for such a person to have 80% of his family property? What Li Xiao is short of right now is money. The formation of a third division will completely wipe out the 200,000 taels of silver that Li Xiao has accumulated. Now he still has money.
The ore money he owed to the Korean King Li Xiu had not been settled. Li Xiu sent him a letter when he had something to do, saying that he would ask the fisherman to help build a five-masted ship. There were only three warships, which really didn't look huge.
of the Bohai Sea and Yellow Sea waters.
The business in the capital was forced to close down, although Daqianmen is still as profitable as ever. But it can no longer be compared with before. Now Li Xiao's income can only be said to maintain a balance. If Ai Hu hadn't grown up and moved the east wall to make up for the west wall
, maybe Li Xiao’s finances are already negative now.
Now that I heard that there is such a huge treasure, how can I keep Li Xiao from being tempted?
"Does the Governor know that Hu Weiyong and Li Shanchang?" Seeing Li Xiao's expression, Mrs. Wang covered her mouth with a handkerchief and smiled. It seems that the other party likes her very much. People die for money and birds die for food. I don't believe you, Li Xiao.
Don't take the bait.
"I know the four major cases during the Hongwu period, namely the Hu Weiyong case, the Li Shanchang case, the Guo Huan case, the Kongyin case, and the Lan Yu case. It is said that there are a hundred thousand people involved!"
"Haha! The governor is indeed very knowledgeable and knows the history of our dynasty in detail. It's just that this is the first time I've heard of these three major cases. But when I think about it, it's quite appropriate." Wang Mingruo has deep meaning.
He glanced at Li Xiao. Even ordinary scholars of the Ming Dynasty were not that familiar with this period of history.
After all, killing so many people was nothing to show off. Except for the historians who recorded history, no one in the Ming Dynasty knew such details. Li Xiao opened his mouth and came, and Wang felt that his previous judgment on Li Xiao seemed to be wrong.
How could Li Xiao know this? Damn Baijia Forum, damn Mingyue. They had already spread these things to the whole of China. He just listened casually, but he didn't know that it would arouse the Wang family's suspicion.
"Hu Weiyong and Li Shanchang were the people who were responsible for checking Shen Wansan's family assets. Guo Huan was a small official, but he was once the most trusted person of Taizu. Before committing the crime, this man had been missing for two years, and no one knew about him.
Don't know where he went.
As for Lan Yu...! He defiled Princess Beiyuan and massacred the Ming Dynasty border fortress. These were all excuses. The most important thing is that some of the large amounts of property Lan Yu looted was hidden by him.
The general who holds the military power has hidden so much gold and silver. Having money and soldiers is really a precursor to rebellion. So Taizu killed Lan Yu. As for the Kongyin case, don’t you think Kongyin
In this case, many officials from the north were killed, but few officials from the south were killed?"
"You've made me a little confused. Can you explain it a little more clearly?"
"The concubine made it clearer. Lan Yu secretly hid a large amount of gold and silver. After being tortured by Jin Yiwei, he was questioned. It turned out that those treasures were hidden in the Yanshan Mountains. Taizu, the old man, sent twenty-four guards
One of the Xiaoling guards, Guanshan Taibao, took out the gold and silver.
Then Shen Wansan's family property was hidden in the same place. Hu Weiyong, Li Shanchang, Guo Huan, and Lan Yu were all silenced. Moreover, all the minor officials who participated in this matter were all silenced. That place was even more...
It was well hidden by Guanshan Taibao and is still unknown to the public.
Otherwise, why do you think Taizu, the old man, wanted to watch the mountain and Taibao be buried? When the Twenty-Four Guards of the Ming Dynasty were established, Taizu was strong and healthy, so why did he form a Xiaoling Guard? All this is because of that treasure.
"
"Treasure? He killed all the insiders during his lifetime, and after his death, he buried the only Guanshan Taibao who knew the place. Then... who can find it! There is nothing wrong with Taizu's brain!" That is, Li Xiao dared to say such a disrespectful thing.
If someone else said this, and someone else happened to hear it, it wouldn't be unusual to pull it out, chop it into pieces, and feed it to the dogs!
"The governor is really quick to talk!" Wang's expression changed and then returned to normal.
"This is about Lu Gong's secret record. At that time, Taizu divided the secret of the hidden treasure into nine parts. He passed it on to his nine sons respectively, King Qin, King Jin, King Yan, King Zhou, King Chu,
King Qi, King Tan, King Zhao and King Lu. These secrets are hidden in nine books, namely "Secret Records of the King of Qin", "Secret Records of the King of Jin", "Secret Records of the King of Yan", "Secret Records of the King of Zhou" and "Secret Records of the King of Chu"
"Secret Records of the King of Qi", "Secret Records of the King of Zhao", "Secret Records of the King of Tan" and "Secret Records of the King of Lu".
Each secret record was kept by each vassal king personally, but the prince Zhu Biao did not get the secret record. It must be that Taizu felt that if the Ming Dynasty fell, the emperor should die. Later, Taisun Jianwen succeeded to the throne and persecuted all the vassal kings.
, apparently it is to reduce the vassal status. In fact, it is for the sake of the secret records in the hands of the vassal kings.
King Yan raised troops to suppress Jingnan and finally defeated Emperor Jianwen. At that time, King Qin and King Jin were dead and had no heirs. The secret records in their hands fell into the hands of King Yan.
During the Ming Dynasty for more than two hundred years, various dramas were constantly being staged around various secret records. All for the sake of the treasure that could be used against the country. After all, the royal family was powerful. In these years, there were successively "Secret Records of the King of Qin"
"Secret Records of the King of Jin", "Secret Records of the King of Zhou" and "Secret Records of the King of Tan" fell into the hands of the emperor. Together with their original "Secret Records of the King of Yan", the emperor actually had five secret records.
The only ones left are the King of Chu, the King of Qi, and the secret records of our Prince Lu's Mansion. King Lu once said before his death that to open the treasure, you need to have all nine secret records in your hands. Otherwise, you will not even be able to find the door.
Less than.”
"You mean, you want to take this "Secret Records of Lu Gong" in exchange for my helping your son to ascend to the throne and become the new King of Lu?" Li Xiao blinked, feeling that his IQ was insulted.
His damn "Lu Gong's Secret Records" is a good thing, but I only have one copy. The rest are scattered in various princes' palaces. It's easy for King Qi to handle it, but it's in Shandong after all. But what do I do with King Chu's copy?
There are the emperor's books. Is it possible that I went to the palace to steal a few books? If I did, wouldn't I still be Wei Xiaobao?
"Sir Governor, this is the only thing I can get my hands on. Although this "Secret Records of Lu Gong" cannot let you find the treasure, as long as it is in your hands, no one else can even think of finding the treasure.
Today's imperial court actually lacks nothing. The only thing it lacks is money. To be precise, it is short of silver. Now the emperor is desperately trying to find this secret book. You are not afraid that I will dedicate this secret book to the court.
?”
"What am I afraid of? I'm just surprised that you don't directly dedicate it to the emperor because of Mao. When the time comes, making your son a King of Lu, wouldn't it be the best of both worlds, and still use it to find me?"
"Haha! Could it be that the governor has forgotten Li Shanchang and Hu Weiyong, whom I just mentioned? Do you think that the current emperor will not kill people and silence them? I am just a little concubine, and Yihai is just a nine-and-a-half-year-old son.
.If our mother and son are missing, no one will look for us.
After much thought, I still think it would be more appropriate for me to dedicate myself to you." As Wang spoke, she once again put on a pitiful look.
"Why?" Li Xiao didn't feel like he was suitable.
"Because in the big world, you are the only one who has the strength to support the army and even the emperor dare not touch him. Only you have enough influence on Shandong. Only you can make the prince and young masters die quietly."
Li Xiao stared at the woman in front of him with wide eyes. She had such a beautiful face and such an attractive cherry mouth, but she said the most vicious words. This guy didn't want to compete in love, he just wanted his son to become the sole heir of King Lu.
Cruel enough! The ancients said that the most poisonous woman’s heart is true!
"Aren't you afraid that I, Li Xiao, will silence you too?"
"Don't be afraid! Because you don't need to silence us, we can only be your helper, not your enemy."
"Why?"
"My family's surname is Yi Hai, Zhu, and he is a descendant of Emperor Taizu. Is this enough?" Mrs. Wang looked at Li Xiao with a smile.
Li Xiao also stared closely at the woman in front of him. She was full of scheming, skill and courage. If she were a man, she would definitely be more powerful than Sun Chengzong because she was young.
He only got the rumors from a shabby place like Yanzhou, and had met him once. He actually dared to come to him at night to talk about such a fatal matter! Could it be that he had seen through his heart, or that he had exposed his ambitions?
Is it too obvious? If it is the latter, it is very dangerous. Because such a woman can see it, so can those who have become sperm in the capital.
In the eyes of the people of the Ming Dynasty, the world still belongs to the Zhu family. As long as the emperor ascends to the throne and calls out, many of his soldiers may turn against him. After all, the Zhu family has been the emperor for more than two hundred years. The concept of orthodoxy in the world is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.
, these cannot be changed in a short time.
Zhu Yihai! What a good cover. This bitch is right. King Lu is also a direct descendant of Taizu Emperor Hongwu, and his surname is also Zhu!
Li Xiao didn't speak, and neither did Wang. The atmosphere in the room was a little awkward!
After a while, Li Xiao stretched out his hand. Wang was stunned for a moment, but soon understood. The slender, white and tender little hand like an onion was held by Li Xiao.
"Deal! Zhu Yihai will become King of Lu. I will tell you the specific operation. When can I get the "Secret Records of Lu Gong"!" Li Xiao let go of his hand, although he wanted to hold it for a while longer.
"Haha! Are you so impatient, Lord Governor? As long as my son becomes King of Lu, "Lu Gong's Secret Record" will naturally be presented to you. At that time, even if you want the slave family to do anything, the slave family will do it. Let alone a book
"Lu Gong's Secret Records", even if you want to...!"
Li Xiao dodged and dodged the body that was approaching him. His heart speeded up unsatisfactorily, beating "bang" and "bang". It was hard to describe the feeling. I didn't know whether it was regret, regret, or regret. Anyway, his heartbeat was speeding up.
It feels so damn obvious, like I just ran five thousand meters.
"Haha!" A laughter like a silver bell rang. Wang walked to the door, opened it and walked out, leaving empty laughter echoing in the room.
Li Xiao sniffed his hand, but there was still a lingering fragrance.
Chapter completed!
