Chapter 175: The Palace is Burglarized
If we compare the nine years of Wude with the five years of Daye, then it can only be said that the development of the Tang Dynasty is getting better and better, while the Great Sui is getting worse and worse.
Not just civilian, but also military. Fortunately, there is such a person as Li Sansi in the Great Sui Dynasty, and this person is equivalent to a civil official in the Manchu Dynasty.
The Great Sui Dynasty now has an abundant treasury, all relying on Li Sansi. Li Sansi is equivalent to the treasury of the Great Sui Dynasty, as long as he is there, it means that the treasury of the Great Sui Dynasty will never be empty.
But this does not mean that Yang Guang's grand ambition can be realized, because the silver required to build the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal is terrifying, even if it is Yang Guang, the king of a country, even if Li Sansi, the head of the household, and the future of the household book, can only look at it and sigh.
However, since Datang announced its marriage with the Chai family, the richest merchant family in the world, Datang has been particularly confident in building any fortifications.
The 14th day of the eighth month of the lunar calendar, the night before the 15th day of August, and the night before the Mid-Autumn Festival, are also the days when Li Xiuning, the princess of Pingyang Zhao, got engaged to Chai Shao, the eldest son of the Chai family.
There was a major event that shocked the five countries, and that was the theft of the Tang Palace.
Don't say how tightly guarded the Tang Palace is, but in this way, the palace guarded by countless masters was actually robbed.
The thief entered the imperial study, but he did not steal anything valuable, but why did he know that the palace was robbed, it was because the thief wrote a letter to the emperor, and no one knew the content of the letter, and some people knew.
The only one who knows is naturally the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, Li Yuan!
But Li Yuan burned a letter when he read it, and you couldn't ask him what was written in the letter! Who dared to ask him, after all, the Son of Heaven was angry and the country was shaken.
As for whether Li Yuan is angry or not, it must be angry.
To the extent of his anger, it is said that he cut off the heads of several palace guards. raised a group of rice buckets, so he couldn't help but be angry. The most important thing is that Li Yuan feels that he has lost face, his imperial study can be allowed to come and go at will, isn't it that one day someone wants to kill him, and he is still in a situation where he doesn't know anything?
He secretly asked people to investigate this matter, but did not let people know. But why do so many people know, because there will never be a shortage of people in this world to watch the excitement, and there will be no shortage of people with big mouths. Therefore, the story of Li Yuan's imperial study being robbed spread.
Li Yuan was naturally annoyed again, but he didn't kill anyone, after all, killing too many people would still make people feel chilling. As the king of a country, how could Li Yuan not understand this matter, so he turned the secret investigation into an open investigation.
What is the most important thing in Li Yuan's imperial study, which is naturally the heirloom jade seal, but when he opened the box of the jade seal, he saw that the jade seal was still there, and he was naturally relieved.
He didn't move the jade seal, because generally speaking, the jade seal is rarely used, unless it is necessary to use the jade seal to seal the will, and at other times, the jade seal has really become an ornament, of course, it cannot be said to be an ornament, after all, the jade seal represents the luck of a country.
As everyone knows, it was precisely because of him that Li Yuan didn't know that the jade seal had been dropped much later.
So what's going on with this matter, this is going to talk about this palace in the Tang Dynasty.
Li Yuan was founded less than ten years ago, and it was naturally impossible to build such a huge palace complex, except for the Tang Tower, which was a major feature of the Tang Dynasty, which was different from the buildings of other countries.
The previous owner of this palace was the capital of the Great Jin Dynasty, but in the Spring and Autumn Period, the Great Jin Dynasty was destroyed by Yang Xiu, and Li Yuan became the Taishou of this place. Until he established himself as the king and became the emperor, he changed the palace of the Great Jin Dynasty, which was originally the palace of Emperor Wen of Sui, into his own palace, and then built some other accessories.
The founding of the Great Jin Dynasty is not long or short, with a history of fifteen years, but in these fifteen years, from the first year of the Great Jin Dynasty, it began to spend great efforts to build the imperial palace at that time. It is also one of the reasons why the Great Jin Dynasty was so rich but still destroyed later. The Great Jin Dynasty spent a lot of money to build the imperial palace here, and Li Yuan later established the Tang Dynasty and did not choose to build it again, so there was Yang Weiyang's follow-up action.
Li Jiancheng asked Yang Weiyang to stop the marriage between Li Xiuning and Chai Shao, and the condition was to give Yang Weiyang a map of the palace. During this time, Yang Weiyang found the foreman who built the palace in the prosperous city of Chang'an in the Tang Dynasty, but this person was already more than eighty years old.
The living conditions are not very good, living in the slums. No matter how prosperous an empire is, there is a group of very poor people. The poor and the rich are always in direct proportion, and they do not become rich just because the empire is strong.
Therefore, Yang Weiyang gave him a huge amount of money, and got another picture of the palace from him, that is, the secret passage, the secret passage that even Li Yuan didn't know, only this foreman, the workers of the year, and the royal family of the Great Jin Dynasty knew.
However, except for the imperial grandson of the Great Jin Dynasty, whose whereabouts are now unknown, almost all the royal families of the Great Jin Dynasty are dead. Calculate that the imperial grandson of the Great Jin Dynasty is still there, and he will definitely not know about it when he was so young.
The so-called workers were almost all killed by the people of the Great Jin Dynasty. If it weren't for the fact that this foreman was a close confidant of the emperor, I am afraid that he would inevitably die.
That's right, the foreman was actually a eunuch. So what does he want to do with a huge amount of money, Yang Weiyang doesn't want to know, and he doesn't have the habit of killing people casually. He's not the kind of person who will do anything to achieve his goals, so you give me the drawings, and I give you what I want, as long as I can take it out, I can give it to you, but you don't have to go too far.
The eighty-year-old old eunuch took the money and left, Yang Weiyang didn't want to say how much it was, after all, others would think he was a loser, but the origin of this money has nothing to do with the huge belongings of the Xishu Palace.
Li Yuan would never have thought that in order to leave a way back, the Great Jin Dynasty had built a tunnel in the imperial study, ready to escape at any time. However, Yang Xiu came too fast back then, and this group of people didn't have time to escape at all, so they almost died.
Although the people of this authentic royal family know, it is impossible for everyone to know about it. There is a saying that the fewer people know, the safer, so it's safe now.
No matter how many masters there are in the palace, it is impossible to install masters in the imperial study, so Yang Weiyang was given an opportunity to take advantage of. But why did you choose the night of August 14, in fact, Yang Weiyang wanted to delay the time, but who expected that Li Yuan would still let the engagement be held as scheduled. If Yang Weiyang had known that such a thing would happen, he would not even have left him with the radish jade seal.
On August 15, Yang Weiyang was invited into the palace in the morning.
