It is now the fifteenth year of Chongzhen, and by next year, the Tongguan War, which is related to the life and death of the Ming Dynasty, will break out, and after Sun Chuanting's 100,000 Qin soldiers were destroyed, the last elite of the Ming Dynasty will be lost.

At that time, Li Zicheng successively captured Shaanxi, east into Beijing, Chongzhen Emperor Coal Mountain hanged himself, and then Wu Sangui led the Qing troops into the customs, and the world was in chaos.

Feng Yuan still has a year to go, and during this time, while cultivating the Heavenly Xuangong to enhance his strength, he also has to recruit troops and horses to cultivate his forces, and when Jiashen Tianchang changes, the forces he cultivated can just play a role.

While Feng Yuan was silently thinking about the plan, the merchant ship sailed with the wind, and soon crossed the large grain ship, and it didn't take long for it to enter the Yangtze River.

The river is vast, the number of ships is several times more than that of the canal, not only all kinds of merchant ships, but also many wealthy merchants and scholars in the south of the Yangtze River are taking boats to watch the scenery.

The closer you get to Gangnam, the more prosperous you see. The south of the Yangtze River is picturesque, there are both big rivers and small bridges and flowing waters, countless high-ranking nobles and scholars, drunk and gold-obsessed, boundless, unaware that the north is already a sea of corpses and blood, full of wolf smoke.

"Nobles, gentlemen, and gentlemen...... Huh!"

When Feng Yuan saw this, he suddenly remembered in his heart that when the Qing soldiers went south, Jiangyin raised the city to resist for more than 80 days, and Jinling City, which was extremely strong, went down without a fight. And what "the water is too cold" and "the scalp is itchy".

The Ming Dynasty was not so much destroyed by the thieves as by the hands of these people.

At this time, the sailors on the merchant ship cheered, and Feng Yuan looked up and looked forward, only to see a majestic city lying on the ground in the distance, with a dragon and a tiger, and the momentum was extraordinary.

Jinling City has arrived!

"Little Prince, when we arrive in Jinling, do we want to go and meet Uncle Xin Cheng and Duke Wei first?" Gu Rujin leaned over and asked in a low voice.

"You go and take my worship post to meet you at the Xincheng Bo's Mansion, I won't come to the door in person! After all, my identity is sensitive, and it is inconvenient for me to make friends with these left-behind nobles in Jinling!"

In the Ming system, the vassal king was not allowed to leave the fiefdom and make friends with civil and military officials. Feng Yuan, as the grandson of King Zhou, still has the title of the king of the county, and it is just a matter of leaving the fief for a reason, if he befriends these officials in Jinling, he is indeed a little sensitive.

However, these are actually excuses, and the real reason is that Feng Yuan doesn't want to contact these people at all, for fear of disgusting himself.

And in Feng Yuan's plan, these noble officials who have not achieved enough things and have more than enough failures are not of much use.

The officers and soldiers at the Jinling City Gate were loose, and they casually threw a small piece of broken silver, and Feng Yuan and his party entered the city.

As soon as I entered the city, a lively atmosphere came to my face, on both sides of the street, many merchants and merchants sold along the street, as well as restaurants and inns, shops and grain stores.

After the Ming Dynasty established the capital in Jinling, this city became the core of the south. Even after the capital was moved to Beijing, the status of Jinling City did not decline much.

"The treasure of Wei Guogong, in a firewood room in the old mansion of Dagongfang, go to Dagongfang first!"

Feng Yuan asked Gu Rujin to meet Xincheng Bo Zhao Zhilong, and he took the remaining few people and ran all the way in the direction of Dagongfang. Dagongfang is not far from the Qinhuai River and the Confucius Temple, and the old mansion that originally belonged to the Duke of Wei has been dilapidated.

At that time, Xu Da, the king of Zhongshan, was divided into two branches, Dingguo Gong and Wei Guogong, in which Dingguo Gong supported Zhu Di in the Jingjing, and was valued by the other party and inherited most of Xu Da's family business.

The Duke of Wei, who supported Emperor Jianwen, was snubbed after Emperor Yongle ascended the throne and had to move out of the original Duke of Wei to settle down.

Dingguo Gong has already moved to Beijing, and the old mansion left behind is unmanaged, which seems to be a bit deserted. Over time, the people in Nanjing did not know that this deserted house was the old residence of Xu Da, the king of Zhongshan.

Feng Yuan asked Jiang Yingjie to take people to settle down in a nearby inn first, and quietly touched Dagongfang by himself.

There are many courtyards in this street, many of which are in a state of abandonment like the Wei Mansion, which were originally the residences of the prince and the prince, and the owner of the mansion has not been here since the emperor moved the capital.

And because of the over-the-top reasons, the houses here can't be sold casually.

"I'm afraid that only when the Ming Dynasty is about to fall, will those officials in Nanjing ignore the problem of overstepping the system, and prepare to sell the mansion here and finally make a handful of silver. ”

Feng Yuan had such a thought in his heart.

Coming to the side of the high courtyard wall, Feng Yuan borrowed his hands and easily crossed the high wall and entered the interior of the mansion.

In the more than ten days that he had been in this world, since cultivating the Heavenly Xuangong required a large amount of qi, blood, and essence, Feng Yuan had just tasted it and exercised his hands and feet a little. Make yourself a little more flexible. It was no longer difficult for him to climb over the wall and cross the house.

The mansion was very desolate, Feng Yuan quickly swept over the front yard, and there were several firewood houses in the backyard, and he had to confirm them one by one.

Three hours later.

In a firewood room, a large pit was dug in the ground, and a large stone slab was exposed under the soil, and when he saw the stone slab, Feng Yuan couldn't help but wipe a handful of sweat. After wasting so much time, I finally found it!

Remove the stone slab, and there is a large hole underneath. Feng Yuan found a torch and went down the stone steps at the entrance of the cave, and suddenly saw ten large iron boxes lined up in this underground secret room.

There are also chains wrapped around the iron box, and the giant lock is sealed, which is difficult to open without a key.

Feng Yuan only knew where the treasure was, and as for the key to open the iron chest, he didn't know where it was.

However, he thought that the key should be nearby, and after a careful search around, he found an iron box in the corner, which contained the key.

In addition to the key, there are two pieces of paper in the box. One of the pieces of paper reads: "My uncle's rebellion, all the military ministers surrendered." Xu Huizu, the Duke of Wei, was a meritorious hero and loyal to Sheji, which was commendable. The inner house is a treasure, and the emperor can't carry it, and the Duke of Wei guards it. He revisited the temple community and used it as a resource. Jianwen was written in June of the fourth year. ”

On the other piece of paper, there was a poem written on it.

"Emperor Jianwen's poems!"

Feng Yuan glanced at it casually, and shredded the two pieces of paper casually.

Open the iron box with the key, suddenly dazzling and bright, the iron box is paved with gold bricks, and the top is all gemstone agate, jade and jade, each of which is a finely carved treasure, worth a huge million.

"These treasures were left by Emperor Jianwen in the treasury that year, and there are at least ten million taels of silver!"

After Feng Yuan saw these brilliant gemstone agate, he roughly estimated that those jewels and jadeites were not to mention for the time being, just the gold bricks in the lower half of the box were equivalent to ten million taels of silver.

"My current identity is Zhu Lunsheng, and I am also a descendant of Taizu, these treasures fall into my hands, and they can be regarded as fertile water that does not flow into the fields of outsiders!"

Feng Yuan smiled, took out a gold brick from the box, then relocked the iron box, covered up the hole, and quietly returned to the nearby inn.
