Chapter 25, "The Second Rebellion"
When Chu Haoge came to the first bookshelf, he looked up and saw that there was a small sign the size of a palm on it, and he looked at it fixedly, and there were four words written on it: "Ancient scriptures." ”
"And the book category?" I found a copy to read, it was the Book of Songs, Chu Haoge put it back in its place, which was when he was in the palace, the emperor's uncle forced him to read many such books, although he read it, he also remembered some.
Then go and take the third book on the right hand, pick it up and look at it, it is "University", he has also read it, shook his head, and put it back in its place, what he is looking for now is not this kind of book, he wants to see if there is a way to solve the Gu for Murong, put it back in its place, Chu Haoge read two more books, both of them are this type of book.
In this way, he was not disappointed, but was overjoyed, since there was a classification, it was much easier for him to find it, at least he didn't have to look through them one by one, and secretly summed up this dialect: "Murong, this younger brother, may really be a talented man full of wealth." With that, he left the bookshelf and walked back.
On the back of several bookshelves are written "Essays after Fasting", "Famous Poems", "Chronicles of the Ruling and Opposition Dynasties", and "Folk Trivia", each of which he has opened one or two copies, which are not within the scope of what he is looking for, especially the bookshelf of the "Chronicles of the Dynasty and the Opposition", which is full of records of the previous dynasties and the big and small things in the government and the opposition.
He walked past more than a dozen bookshelves, all of which were books he didn't need, and he quickly crossed them until he reached the eleventh bookshelf, which read "Secret Script of the Dynasty".
When he saw this, he was stunned for a moment, Asano Cipher? How can there be a ciphertext here? If this is spread out, won't it be copied all over the house? The courage of this dialect is too big, right, dare to write it generously?
"Gollum" He swallowed his saliva, very curious about what was inside, he had never seen any "secret text" in the palace, that is, some people recorded the major events in the palace for them to see, and the water content was self-evident.
Thinking of this, he casually picked up a book, which was written "Biography of Emperor Xuan", Chu Haoge looked at it and was taken aback, it turned out to be the emperor's uncle? Hurriedly couldn't wait to open it, but he was disappointed just after reading two pages, where is the ciphertext, that is, some of the major things that the emperor's uncle did before were recorded, and most of them were praised and praised for him.
"Alas" shook his head and sighed, he put the book back, and said in his heart that if it could be called ciphertext, then he knew too much, and it was enough to be destroyed.
Just now, I was still wondering, how could this ordinary big family have the secret text of the dynasty, it turned out to be such a sycophant book, even if it was reported by someone, it was not a crime, and I couldn't say that I would have to reward this Fang family. It's just that he was in the palace before, and he saw too many people who patted the sycophants of the rulers, and he originally thought that this dialect was a hard-hearted scholar, but at this time, it seemed that he was at most a fancy sycophant.
I picked up another one casually, it was a "great event of our time", and it was written in some brainwashing articles that were beneficial to the current emperor and helped him win the hearts of the people.
Put it back, pick up another one, the situation is still the same, put it back in disappointment, and was about to leave this bookshelf, but when he just took two steps, he glanced at a book, which said "Chu Jiangjianyi", he only saw the words "Chu Jianyi", and he quickly stopped.
Chu Haoge came out of the palace to find his father's whereabouts, and when he saw his father's name on it, his heart was suddenly excited, and he hurriedly reached out and took it out, opened it and looked at it.
Flip it open, it's the same as the previous ones, most of them are praises, and at this time he doesn't think it's any sycophancy, and he thinks it's all true, but he basically already knows this, but what he heard is not as detailed as the one recorded above, and the more he reads, the more disappointed he feels, there should be no whereabouts of his father in it.
He lost interest in watching it, but he wanted to force himself to watch it, after all, it was his father who was recorded on it, and he had to watch him even if he watched it hard.
In the middle of the night, he had already read more than half of it, and there were only a few pages left, and by this time he had already told about his father's return from chaos, and his son, who was living in the palace by himself, and also wrote about the death of his mother, which made his eyes moisten a little.
At this point, his father's history is basically coming to an end, but looking at the next few pages, he is a little curious, so he has to turn it over to see what is written in the back.
Turning the next page, what caught his eye was the four big words "Second Peace", he was stunned for a moment, and the Second Peace? He's never heard of it, didn't his father come back from the chaos and be crowned a prince of the opposite sex? How could there be a second rebellion after that?
Looking at the age, the twenty-seventh year of Emperor Xuanhuang, he converted it, he should be six or seven years old at this time, he was even more puzzled, he should have remembered at that time, there was such a big event about his father, why didn't he hear about it at all?
Looking further down, it reads, "The north is in turmoil, and the people are panicking, so they were ordered by Emperor Xuan to secretly go out on an expedition and exterminate it." ”
"Huh" He suddenly realized, no wonder he didn't know, it turned out that this was a secret expedition, since he didn't know, presumably not many people in the court knew about it, so who wrote this book?
Turning the page, the author's name was not signed, he had to not think about it, and continued to look down, the record on it was very detailed, the number of troops with him, more than 10,000 people, the general was only his father, and it was also recorded that they were all masked and dressed in night clothes to attack the three big families in the north at night.
"Masked?" "Nightwalker?" Chu Haoge felt that it was not simple, this was a secret expedition, a night attack, and the identity of the army was hidden, what kind of family needs to be treated like this?
He looked behind him, and there were three family introductions: the "Bai family", the remnant of the previous dynasty; The northern barbarian "Dugu family" ......
He looked behind him again, his eyes were straight, and his mouth was open, only to see a few words written on it, "Wu Xiu Rebellion Gate, Murong Family." These words seemed to him to be a word for heart.
I remember hearing Murong say that her family was only a small village in the north, and he was still wondering at the time, how could a small village have a double surname? Even if there is only one surname in a village, it should be "Liujia Village" or "Wangjia Village" or something like that.
It seemed that Murong was lying at the time, and when he thought of this, he suddenly remembered that Murong had said before that there was a sudden change in her village...... Running away with his younger brother, is this the so-called change? Could it be that the Murong family was really the martial arts cultivator who was "quelled the chaos for the second time" by his father back then? He was shocked when he thought about it, Murong had said that she was only six years old when she and her brother ran away from home, and he was only six years old when his father set out on the expedition, and he was the same age as Murong......
As soon as this came, everything was right, and he hurriedly looked behind him to see how the second rebellion was.
It only says that this time the rebellion went very smoothly, and the three major anti-clans were all destroyed, looking at the "all the gates were destroyed" Chu Haoge shuddered all over, that is to say...... From the old man to the young children, all of them were killed.
He was also a spirit, and he also knew that this Murong and his younger brother were probably the ones who escaped when the Murong family was destroyed, recalling Murong's appearance, probably he didn't know about it, otherwise how could he say that he admired his father and walked with him? With her character, I'm afraid that when she sees him, she will be hacked to death.
Although he thought like this, he also had a feeling that Murong would not kill him even if he knew, this was just an intuition, he was not sure, he thought, Murong was afraid that he would have to live in Fang Mansion for a while, if he saw this book during this time, he knew that it was his father at that time...... Then how is he going to face Murong?
I thought about it again, although my father was a general, he never careless of human life, and it was recorded that it was an order from the emperor's uncle to quell the rebellion for the second time, but why did the emperor's uncle destroy these three major families? Is it really rehabilitation? So why hide the identity of the army?
There are too many of these points, he can't figure it out for a while, I'm afraid that after Murong sees this book and knows the reason, then he will really have to fight with Murong, even if Murong won't kill him, it is impossible to have anything happen to the son of the person who destroyed her.
Thinking about it, he saw that there was no one next to him, and hurriedly tore off the two pages that recorded the "second peace".
As soon as he tore it off, he felt that something was wrong, after all, this was someone's study, and he was a guest but tore off the master's books at will, which was probably a bit excessive, but this tear was torn, and there was no result in the entanglement, and he couldn't glue this page back again, so he turned the two pages into a ball and held it in his hand.
"Chu Haoge, you are here." Suddenly, Murong's voice came, usually he was looking forward to Murong's voice, but at this time, I am afraid that it will not be the case, what he is most afraid of now is that Murong will find out about it, this sudden voice scared him into a cold sweat, he was covered in a spirit, and the book in his hand also fell to the ground.
Before Chu Haoge lowered her head to pick it up, Murong had already helped her pick it up, and just as she was about to hand it to him, she found that two pages inside had been torn off, and she made a soft "huh" sound and stared at the book for a while.
This scared Chu Haoge's back soaked, and when she was reading the missing pages of this book, she tore open her clothes, his clothes were double-layered, and the inside was empty.
"Why is this book missing two pages?" Murong looked at Chu Haoge suspiciously, and asked a little strangely.
Chu Haoge tried his best to calm himself, pretending to be calm and said, "I don't know, I was still strange just now, so I just looked at it twice." ”
"Oh" Murong nodded, and didn't question him, she looked at the cover of the book, which read "The Biography of General Chu Jianyi", and said in surprise: "This is the biography of General Chu?" ”
"Hmm...... Well. Chu Haoge stabilized his breathing, calmed his mood, and said, "Yes, because it's about my father, I just want to see it, it's just ...... Nothing useful news. ”
"Oh, yes." Murong Xiaoyan shook his head and said, "I don't know what is written in the missing two pages, whether there will be General Chu's whereabouts, it's a pity." ”
Murong said this, which made Chu Haoge feel very uncomfortable, Murong was sincerely thinking about him, and was very concerned about whether he could find his father, but he deceived her like this, just ...... There's no way around it.
"Hmm......" Hearing Murong mention those two pages, he became a little nervous for no reason, and quickly changed the topic and said, "Murong, why are you here?" ”
Murong wrinkled her nose, looking very cute, she said: "I was decorating the hall with Xiaosheng just now, and now he is busy going to other things, I can't help much, I want to find Qiantaro and you when I am bored, Qiantaro is practicing spells in the room, so I have to come to you as an idler, I heard that Steward Liu said that you are in the study, so I will come." ”
"Oh...... That's right. Chu Haoge took the book in her hand, put it in the bookshelf next to her, and said, "By the way, Fang Gongzi got married, which girl are you going to marry?" ”
Murong glanced at him, and said with a look of disdain: "It's only been how long we have been in Jiangling City, just to tell you which one, can you still know?" ”
"Ahem" he coughed twice in embarrassment, sneered and said, "I'll just ask." ”
At this time, the sky was also dark, and the study lit a few lights, but it was still a little dark, so Chu Haoge said: "It's a little dark here, let's go out and take a walk in the courtyard." ”
"yes, okay." Murong answered, and walked out of the study with Chu Haoge.
The two walked side by side in the courtyard, because Murong was special in the Fang Mansion, there was almost no place in this mansion that she couldn't go, and the two of them had already walked to the backyard at this time.
"By the way, Murong, after that...... Where are you going? Stay here? Or ......" This is what Chu Haoge has always wanted to ask, he wants to know if Murong will go with him again, although he knows that this is not very likely, but he still has to ask.
The words "......" made Murong depressed, and her steps slowed down, looking at the sky, strolling, and saying, "I have found my brother...... It's time to go back to the sect. As she spoke, she remembered her brother, who had just met and was about to separate, and said, "It would be best if he was willing to go back to the sect with me, even if he wasn't with me, I knew that he was in Gangneung, and his life was very good, and we exchanged letters occasionally, and that was enough." ”
A sad look appeared on her face, and she said: "People have joys and sorrows, the moon is cloudy and sunny, and Xiaosheng is ...... He's grown up, and I can't tie him to me. ”
"Poof" Seeing her like this, Chu Haoge actually laughed on the side, breaking the depressed atmosphere, and he said with a little playfulness: "I said Murong, when did you become literary when you spoke?" It's not like you. ”
Murong was also stunned when he said this, he said it casually just now, glared at Chu Haoge, and turned his head to the side, saying in his heart that maybe he was brought by this guy, and he sometimes likes to be so literary when he speaks.
At this time, she heard Chu Haoge on the side sigh again, a little sluggish, and whispered, "Murong...... What about me? ”
"Huh?"
