Chapter 806: Extras (30)
The fire in the camp outside the city at night was covered up by Xue Rui, and it did not cause much turmoil, and no one knew that the eldest princess visited the military camp at night.
Jiang Huansheng felt that she had lost someone this time, and she almost lost her life instead of killing someone, so she kept her mouth shut. She was arrogant and arrogant, but what she said was countable, when Yu Shu handed the sword to her, she didn't do it, and she would never shout and kill Yu Shu again after that, even if she still had resentment in her heart, she would only scatter it elsewhere.
Early the next morning, Xue Rui arranged a magnificent carriage to personally escort Yu Shu back to the capital, first rested in the Dingbo Pavilion, and then entered the palace with her. Emperor Yan met them alone in the Tai'an Palace.
"Your Excellency, my brother will not fail in his mission, and persuade the Yu family to return to our dynasty, and I am here to see it."
Emperor Yan nodded, and looked at the tall woman who followed Xue Rui silently, but saw that she was wearing a plain green robe, with a green silk neatly tied behind her head, no fat powder, no pearls, and her complexion was too white and slightly sickly, and it was difficult to guess her age, the most special thing was not the cinnabar that stood up in her eyebrows, but the eyes she looked at him, so calm and calm, beyond his expectations.
"Yu, do you know that if you submit to my Dayan, you will be loyal to me, as my courtier, from now on abandon all kinds of previous dynasties, are you voluntary?" He had heard of this woman's name when he was far away in Liaodong, and when he saw it today, this bearing alone lived up to her reputation.
Yu Shu has not bowed down since entering the door, and when she heard this, she raised her head, straightened her spine, looked directly at Emperor Yan without fear, and said without humility or arrogance: "The criminal minister has one condition, dare to ask His Majesty Emperor Yan to promise in person." β
"Ashu, Hugh should be presumptuous." Xue Rui shouted.
"It's okay," Emperor Yan waved his hand at him, and looked at Yu Shu with some interest: "What conditions do you want me to promise you, say it." She called herself a criminal minister and called him His Majesty, which shows that she is now talking to him as a former minister, and she is really bold.
"Please promise that no matter when, you will not hurt my Emperor Da'an's life, and ensure that he dies and lives in peace for the rest of his life."
Yu Shu's move is not to add to the snake, Emperor Yan ordered to imprison Emperor Chongzhen and did not kill him, but he did not kill him at the moment, most of it was to appease people's hearts and show his benevolence, it does not mean that he will not secretly kill the killer in the future. Keeping the life of the emperor of the previous dynasty is always a disaster, how can others be allowed to snore on the side of the couch, and the day when Emperor Chongzhen loses his role is his death.
The promise she asked for was to ask Emperor Chongzhen for a life talisman, as long as she was in one day, he would never have to worry about his life.
After all, the monarch and the minister, this is the last thing she can do for Da'an as the great supervisor of the An Dynasty, otherwise she will have a guilty conscience. Moreover, she had promised Empress Xiajiang that she would give them a chance to reunite with their husbands and wives in her lifetime.
"This condition you mentioned is really embarrassing," Emperor Yan shook his head and smiled, he was not angry, because Yu Shu's request just showed her loyalty and proved that she was not a greedy person for power. But he didn't agree to her right away, because he knew very well what her condition meant, and he was considering whether she was worth his promise.
Yu Shu could see his hesitation, and decisively threw out the temptation: "If His Majesty agrees, the criminal minister will not only swear allegiance to Dayan, but also be willing to offer a rare treasure." β
Emperor Yan raised his eyebrows, and was interested in the second half of her sentence, so he asked, "What is a rare treasure?" β
"One of the six weapons of Da'an's founding, the pure Jun sword."
Emperor Yan was stunned for a moment, then his eyes narrowed, he turned his head to look at Xue Rui with emotion, and asked with his eyes: Isn't it said that the six founding weapons of Da'an have been lost a long time ago?
Xue Rui's eyes were very innocent: Brother Chen didn't know.
"Ahem," Emperor Yan cleared his throat and put on a majestic face: "As far as I know, the founding six weapons of the previous dynasty disappeared many years ago, how could they appear in your hands, you tell the truth, you can't hide it." β
Yu Shu bowed his head and replied, telling a story: "Here's how it happened - about three hundred years ago, Empress Ning Zhen died, and Emperor Anwu issued a secret decree to bury the six vessels as a companion and bury them in the depths of the imperial mausoleum. Who would have thought that after a lapse of two hundred years, there was a deviant prince in the court, he eloped with a female general and broke into the imperial tomb, strayed into the tomb of Empress Ning Zhen, and destroyed half of the six founding weapons, and stole half of them, including the noble and unparalleled Chunjun sword. Later, after several turnovers, the Chunjun Sword fell to the Longhu Mountain Taoist School, and after many twists and turns, it was finally returned to the Si Tian Prison a few years ago, and when the criminal minister took over the Si Tian Prison, the predecessor Da Tidian handed over this unparalleled sword to me for safekeeping. β
Emperor Yan and Xue Rui glanced at each other, half-believing her statement, the only thing worth affirming was that she dared to take out the Chunjun Sword as a bargaining chip to persuade him, which showed that she must know the secret of the Six Weapons of the Founding of the People's Republic of China.
Emperor Yan was quite moved, and couldn't hide his curiosity and asked her: "What is the use of this pure Jun sword, which can be called a national weapon?" β
Yu Shu smiled indifferently, and said in a proud tone: "As far as my Da'an people, few people have never heard of the epic legend of the Holy Ancestor Emperor opening up mountains and rivers, but there is also a rumor that is kept secret - the Holy Ancestor Emperor was able to win the world in one fell swoop, relying on the power of the six founding weapons. These six instruments, one for the book, one for the sword, one for the ruler, one for the tripod, one for the wish, one for the compass, all of them are vast and omnipotent. β
With the death of Empress Ning Zhen, the Six Founding Vessels evolved into a cloud of mist, and after three hundred years, there were very few people left in this world who could even call their names in their entirety. The descendants of Emperor Anwu violated the ancestral teachings and took out the "Xuannu Liuren Book" from the imperial tomb privately, tampered with its contents, and added a "Governing the Country" on the back of it, and another thaumaturgy "Taigu Shen Lesson".
ββPointing to the world is the book of Xuannu, indestructible is the pure Jun sword, the fighting star is the seven-star ruler, the round and intelligent is the Taiqing Ding, the evil is the auspicious is Shi Ruyi, and the town guarding the mountains and rivers is the Fuxi plate.
This is the content of the Xuannu book that Yu Shu has witnessed Yunhua copying, with only a few sentences, but it covers the power of the six founding weapons, which is shocking.
"The reason why the Chunjun Sword is called the founding weapon of the country is that in addition to the fact that it is a divine weapon itself, it also has an unknown use." Yu Shu said this, stopped, and looked up at the emperor again.
Emperor Yan pricked up his ears and listened attentively, and when he reached the key place, she refused to continue, so he urged: "You go on." β
Yu Shu shook his head lightly, with a smile in his eyes, and reminded him calmly: "Your Majesty, it is a secret related to the peace and prosperity of the An Dynasty for three hundred years. β
Listening to her soft words and threatening, Emperor Yan was angry, stretched out a finger and nodded to her head, turned his head and said to Xue Rui, who was pretending to be deaf and dumb: "Listen, you listen, this is to force me to agree to her first, you say, should I do what she wants?" β
Xue Rui turned his head and glanced at Yu Shu, shook his head at Emperor Yan helplessly, and said: "Her temper has always been perverse, she will do whatever she wants, don't blame you, if you want your brother to come, you might as well answer her first, listen to what she has to say, if she has something to say, if she cheats with you, you don't need to keep your promise, and your brother will be guilty of the same crime as her." β
How could Emperor Yan not hear the protection in his words, he snorted lightly, and said, "What I promised, how can there be any reason to regret it," as he spoke, he raised his chin towards Yu Shu, and said with a full heart: "I will promise you to save Liu Tan's life." β
There was a strange light in Yu Shu's eyes, and he instantly restrained his arrogant posture, took a deep breath, knelt down, bowed deeply to the ground with his hands over the top, and shouted in his mouth: "My emperor Shengming, the minister Yu Shu swears allegiance to the death, and if he violates this word, he will be hit by five thunders, and he will be punished by death without a whole corpse." β
Emperor Yan smiled with satisfaction, being able to accept such a rare genius in the world for his own use, I have to say that it is quite a sense of achievement. This is precisely because Yu Shu did not bow down to him at the beginning, her previous reserve and conceit made her surrender at the moment seem much more valuable.
"Very well, get up and talk."
"Thank you." Yu Shu stood up slowly, smoothed the hem of his clothes with one hand, and briefly sorted out his manners, before he lowered his head and spoke respectfully: "When it comes to another use of the Chunjun Sword, I have to mention another founding weapon - "The Book of Xuannu Liuren". β
The biggest secret of the founding of the Six Instruments is hidden in the "Xuannu Liuren Book", but she will not really tell Emperor Yan about it. Her identity as a life-breaker should become a thing of the past with the fall of the An Dynasty and disappear in the long river of history.
"The Xuannu Book is the head of the six instruments, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a book from heaven, when Empress Ning Zhen mastered the Xuannu Book, she knew everything in the world, and everything was in her eyes, and there was nothing to hide. Using the Xuannu Book, she can extrapolate the future and look back at the past, which is a miracle that really has the ability of a god and should not exist in the world. β
She is the best at weaving lies and deceiving the emperor, and it is not the first time.
"However, the extremes of things must be reversed, Empress Ning Zhen repeatedly spied on the heavens, and finally attracted the punishment of heaven, although she was a mother of the world, and won the love of Emperor Anwu, the children she gave birth to died one after another, and there was no queen in her life, and finally Fanghua died early, in order to repay her." It is indeed recorded in the history books that Empress Ning Zhen gave birth to two sons and a daughter, but none of the children lived past the age of five, and the last person who inherited the throne of Emperor Anwu was the prince born to an unknown concubine.
Therefore, after the death of Empress Ning Zhen, Emperor Anwu was heartbroken, so he buried the six weapons with her, so as not to see things and think about people, and also to prevent future generations from abusing the national weapons and causing ominousness. However, in order to stabilize the country, every time the new monarch ascends the throne, there will be a big mention point into the depths of the imperial mausoleum, open the altar to worship the ancestors, and use the "Xuannu Liuren Book" to divinate the national fortune, so as to continue the peaceful and prosperous era. β
True and false, false and real, even she didn't know why Emperor An Wu agreed to use the six instruments as Empress Ning Zhen's funeral, was it guilt or jealousy? He probably didn't think that future generations would go against his will and use the "Xuannu Liuren Book" without authorization.
"Xuannu Liurenshu," Emperor Yan muttered silently, these few words seemed to have magical power, tempting the desire in his heart, making him blurt out without thinking: "Where is this thing now, was it stolen by the original prince, or was it destroyed?" β
Of course, he hoped that such a treasure would not be destroyed, and if he could borrow its power, why worry that his country would not be passed on from generation to generation.
"It's a pity that it's lost, but it wasn't stolen by the prince, but for another reason." Yu Shu shook his head and sighed, there was a wisp of imperceptible bitterness in his voice, "It is precisely because of its loss that Si Tianjian failed to fulfill his duties, and he could not calculate that a hundred years later, there would be such an earth-shattering supreme as you. β
This sentence is not like a compliment, but it amused Emperor Yan, and her appearance became more and more pleasing to the eye. Xue Rui's eyes also swirled on Yu Shu, with joy and sourness in his heart, his Ah Shu had transformed from a girl with affection to a wise and stoic woman, you can imagine her experience over the years, but I hate that he failed to protect her through the pain of growing up at that time.
"The Chunjun Sword was lost a hundred years ago, and the Xuannu Book was stolen about thirty years ago, during the Baotai period." Yu Shu stated: "According to Zhu Dati, the thief who stole the Xuannu Book must have been implicated in the defected prince a hundred years ago, but the other party was elusive, and after he succeeded, he evaporated from the world, and there was no way to arrest him." Over the years, Si Tianjian has been secretly searching for the whereabouts of the "Xuannu Liuren Book", but it wasn't until five years ago that there were new clues. β
Emperor Yan pondered for a moment, and suddenly took over the end of her words: "The clue in your mouth, is it the Pure Jun Sword?" β
Yu Shu glanced up at the emperor with a complicated expression, and smiled bitterly: "The emperor guessed it, yes, if you want to know the whereabouts of the "Xuannu Liuren Book", you have to find clues from the Chunjun Sword." β
Only then did Emperor Yan realize what it meant that Yu Shu was willing to sacrifice the Pure Jun Sword, thinking of this, his breathing couldn't help but be a little short, and his heartbeat was beating harder than beat. So, he closed his eyes slightly, leaned into the back of the chair behind him, relaxed his hands and feet, slowed down his breathing, and calmly thought about it for a while, so as not to be swayed by love.
When he opened his eyes again, he had already made up his mind, his eyes caught Yu Shu, and said: "I want to reappoint you as the chief eunuch of Si Tianjian and promise you a high-ranking official, are you willing to track down and find the "Xuannu Liuren Book" for me?" "For the sake of the stability of his country, he is bound to get this thing.
Yu Shu's face did not change and said: "The minister is not very sure that he can find the Xuannu Book. β
Emperor Yan heard the wish in her words, and laughed loudly: "As long as you try your best to find it, if you can't do it in three or five years, then it will be ten or eight years, and one day you can find it." β
With this sentence, the time limit was relaxed, which is equivalent to saying that even if she can't find it, she will not be punished. In other words, as long as she doesn't find the "Xuannu Liuren Book" for a day, Emperor Yan will not stranded her for a day.
Yu Shu's purpose was finally achieved, so he stopped talking nonsense, and immediately agreed: "The minister's order." β
Emperor Yan was in a good mood, he saw Yu Shu today, not only learned the secret of the six founding weapons of the An Dynasty, but also gained another harvest, so he didn't wait for them to leave, so he called the eunuch Bingbi to come in, and drafted a will on the spot, restarted the Si Tianjian, appointed Yu Shu as the big mention, and returned her authority according to the old system of the previous dynasty, and tentatively designated as a first-class courtier.
Over there, Emperor Yan asked Yu Shu curiously: "I heard a rumor from Yu Qing that you studied under the immortal family, and you can call the wind and rain to scatter beans into soldiers, really?" β
Yu Shu smiled dumbly, "Most of the folk rumors are exaggerated, but the minister did worship an old immortal as a teacher, thanks to his old man's enlightenment and enlightenment, a little more transparent than mortals." β
"Oh? So what are you capable of? β
Yu Shuhui smiled, the cinnabar on her eyebrows was prominent, and she only said six words: "Know the blessings and misfortunes, and cut off life and death." β
Emperor Yan is not a person in Yi Xue, I don't know how powerful these six words are, the expression on his face is still confused, he saw Xue Rui take a step forward, and sighed: "Since the founding of the An Dynasty, Yi Xue has prevailed, and I don't know how many amazing people have appeared in the past three hundred years, but those who can really do the six words of 'knowing blessings and misfortunes, and breaking life and death', have come and gone through the ages, and there are no more than three people in the court, which can be called a rare encounter in a hundred years, such as Empress Ning Zhen, and for example, the short-lived Qingyang Yizi sixty years ago. β
After speaking, he turned his head to look at Yu Shu, his eyes were surprised, and he asked in disbelief: "When did you reach this point?" He didn't know.
Yu Shu also turned his head to look at him, and said to him with a smile: "What was your identity before, what was my identity, why do I need to tell you." This means that before today, they were not all the way.
Xue Rui was choked by her, speechless.
"Hahaha," Emperor Yan listened to it, only thought that the two of them were interesting, and paid more and more attention to Yu Shu, the new minister, and immediately remembered another person, and changed the conversation: "I am not easy to learn, but we have a great teacher in Dayan who knows things like a god, do you know who he is?" β
Yu Shu bowed his head and said, "It should be the father of His Royal Highness King Ping." β
"Then you should also know his other identity, and I won't tell you that I originally intended him to preside over Si Tianjian," he paused, looked at her expression, and smiled again: "But since I promised you, I can't regret it again." β
Yu Shu bowed his head and thanked him, without saying anything humble. Xue Rui had already confessed to her, and now that the An Dynasty was shattered, Yunhua's wish had been fulfilled, and he had the intention of returning to the mountains and forests, not to mention that he had a deep prejudice against Si Tianjian, and he would definitely not accept this big mention of the position, even if she asked him to do it
At dusk, Yu Shu and Xue Rui walked out of the imperial palace in the twilight, and their steps were unprecedentedly relaxed, and they were unprecedentedly smooth. In just half a day, as if in a lifetime, they worked together to put on a good show in front of the emperor, deceived the sky and the sea, and successfully deceived the piece of sky above their heads.
Xue Rui helped her into the carriage with one hand, and then followed, and the curtain hung down, covering the smiles of the two of them looking at each other and the hands they were clasping together.
"Ashu, where are you going?"
"Go home."
"What about me?"
"Let's go."
When she returned home, her family was frightened these days, so she had to go back first to report her safety and bring her future husband. R1152
