Chu Qingqing's jade hand swept across the old accounts in the Ming Pavilion.

On the dark yellow spine are neatly arranged by year.

From the founding monarch Longwu Wang, to the Zhaowen King, to the Xuan King, to the King Jing, and then to the King of Chaochen, they are neatly listed in the book.

It's just that from the time of King Xuan, the booklet was only a few thin pages.

"Since King Xuan began, will the imperial capital no longer be rewarded?" Liu Shuang took out the book of King Xuan, and although it was only more than 30 years away from today, it was just a time for a person to grow up.

"The imperial capital has long been out of wealth to reward the countries, since the world fell apart when Emperor Huai, and the Shixue Palace presided over the redivision of Zhongzhou, the so-called emperors of the Son of Heaven in the imperial capital have eaten up their old books, where is there any money." Chu Qingqing's beautiful face had a cold expression, in the end, it was the daughter of the governor, and she still knew more about these old things.

"In this way, it is better to start with King Zhaowen?" Liu Shuang put the booklet back in its place, and in just a few pages, he did not find any record of rewarding balsam.

"Didn't you find any traces when you declared the king?" Seeing Liu Shuang put the book back, Chu Qingqing knew that there should be no such inconspicuous reward.

"King Xuan reigned for only three years, and the imperial capital only had a reward when King Xuan succeeded to the throne." Liu Shuangjiang said as he looked, "There are some jade jewelry, and there are three mermaid tears." The rest of the silk and satin accounted for the majority, and they were all offered by the six countries of the Southern Dynasties, and there was no spice. ”

"It's okay, you can check King Jing and King Chen. I'm looking for King Zhaowen. Chu Qingqing picked up the thick stack of books related to Liu Yao, the king of Zhaowen, and put them on the wooden table on one side.

Liu Shuang picked up a nearby location to facilitate restoration, check a book and put it back in its original place, so as not to be confused.

The sunlight poured in from the window lattice, shining on Chu Qingqing's black hair, the young and beautiful girl frowned, as if she was thinking about something, the young man occasionally raised his head, and under his eyes was the beautiful side face of the young colleague who was deep in thought.

It's like...... It's like Yuan Bao was forced by his master to copy the scriptures, and the sad face is very interesting.

Respect the king roll, no.

Chen Wangyan, no.

Liu Shuang returned the book to his place and picked up the book of the founding king Liu Yu.

Dragon Warrior King, no.

However, Liu Shuang was still taken aback.

Compared with the rewards at the time of the founding of the country, King Xuan, King Jing, and King Chen did not add up to the rewards at that time.

Although Da Geng was already decaying a hundred years ago and was unable to govern more than 30 states in the Middle Continent, the profound accumulation of the 800-year foundation could not be dissipated overnight. In addition, at that time, the princes and monarchs who came from the Da Geng Dynasty still had a trace of respect for Emperor Huai, who existed in name only, maybe it was for show, there were tributes for every year, and from the beginning of King Jing, these tributes on the face were much less, and Chen Wangyan, only when he succeeded to the throne, when the imperial capital decree was issued, he went to the imperial capital once, and then he has not been on the table for six years.

"I found it!" Chu Qingqing's brows suddenly relaxed, and from the names of those items that couldn't even read the names smoothly, he found the record of condensing balsam.

"I'll see!" Liu Shuang dropped the booklet in his hand, leaned over, and looked at the position of Chu Qingqing's finger.

'On December 16, the ninth year of Kunyou, Emperor Ping's birthday, because King Zhaowen celebrated his birthday, he gave a hundred good horses, and his property was not counted. ’

The following is a very detailed list of gifts, which seems to have been transcribed from the imperial capital, and there are notes next to individual names, saying where those items come from and what they are used for.

"Write it down, read it all and check it carefully." Liu Shuang recorded the name number and number of pages on the papyrus, and returned to his position to continue the search.

"No, I've already finished reading it, and there's only one record on the roster." Chu Qingqing stretched his somewhat stiff shoulders, pinched his sore arm, and asked, "Where are you?" ”

"King Longwu, King Jing, and King Chen, none of them." Liu Shuang shook his head, turned around and set up the book.

"Have you only been rewarded once?" Chu Qingqing was a little skeptical, this condensation balm was not an extremely rare treasure, how could it be only once? Don't...... Someone erased it beforehand?

"Actually, I want to know more, why does Lord Tianguan's proverb point to the Duke of the Kingdom?" Liu Shuang had always wanted to ask this, and he knew very little about the Star Trace Master.

"No, what Mr. Zhou means is that what eats the big tree is exactly what the big tree has not paid attention to, and what the imperial court has not paid attention to, perhaps, is the Duke of the Seven Kingdoms." Chu Qingqing slowly explained, "It is recorded in the Book Ten of the Book of the Zhaowen King that after the collapse of King Longwu, Yao succeeded to the throne at the age of twelve. The queen's official clan listens to the government. If the official of Shizhen State is power-bearing, Xu Zi'an, the Duke of Xingguo, and Qin Luo, the Duke of Dingguo, are their wings. Xiao Xiaoyan, Duke of Anguo, Wang Xian, Duke of Ningguo, Zheng Qianluo, Duke of Pingguo, and Xu Ling, Duke of Shengguo, are the arms of the king. However, each of them brought his cronies, causing the government to be dark. Yao Kunyou four years, regent, cut the titles of the Duke of Xingguo and the Duke of Shengguo, exempted the Duke of Ningguo, the Duke of Anguo, and the Duke of Zhenguo from military power, and ordered the official of Zhenguo to move to Ningzhou, read his great merits, attack the title, attack Yulu, and not return to the dynasty without the king's will. The founding of the Seven Kingdoms only left the Duke of Dingguo and the Duke of Pingguo, which caused turmoil in the government and the opposition, and it ended in ten years. ”

About that period of history, Liu Shuang also knows that those heroes who followed King Longwu to fight on the battlefield and made great contributions, it was still difficult to escape the desire for power, and finally chose to meddle in the government and control the court, but fortunately, King Zhaowen controlled the overall situation and cut down those ambitious princes, so that Dachen is like now, although there is a shadow, but I have to say that the situation is quite clear.

"But now, only the two princes of Ping and Ding still have some power, Duke An and Duke Ning are in the royal capital, and their words and deeds are concerned by King Chen, if they want to do these things without being discovered, how easy is it to say, Zhen Guogong is also far away in Ningzhou, is it the remnants of Xingguo Gong and Sheng Guogong?" Liu Shuang's face was calm, calculating the situation and strength of the Founding Seven Kingdoms.

"I don't know that." Chu Qingqing shook his head slightly, if it was really a certain prince who was manipulating behind his back, then whether it was the one who lost power or the two who were still hot, it was by no means a trivial matter.

"Then who did His Royal Highness King Zhaowen give this only balsam?" Thinking of this, Liu Shuang leaned over, wanting to find clues.

"Some rare things have been given again, such as this one." Chu Qingqing flipped to the back, pointed to the relevant entry and said, "The Hidden Fire Ice Lotus of Quezhou Snow Mountain was given to the right minister at that time. There are also some expensive utensils, and they have also been rewarded. ”

"But this balsamic is not recorded." Chu Qingqing raised his head and met Liu Shuang's preoccupied eyes, his own shadow was reflected in his eyes in his dark pupils.

"I see!" Liu Shuang's eyes suddenly shone brightly, as if something that hindered his thinking was removed in an instant, he straightened up, stepped on the stool with one foot, supported the table with both arms, and stared straight at Chu Qingqing's face.

"What do you understand?" Chu Qingqing was surprised, looking at the suddenly excited appearance of his colleagues, he felt a little funny.

"Lord Tianguan is right, and what Mr. Zhou said is right!" Liu Shuang rubbed his hands and said one by one: "Even if the murderer used balsam, and he did it so secretly, it means that this thing is really what the murderer doesn't want to be discovered, that is to say, ......"

"The balm will really reveal the identity of the murderer!" Chu Qingqing suddenly understood, knew what Liu Shuang meant, and took over the end of the conversation and said.

"yes, so, it's not a trick, we're not on the wrong track." Liu Shuang, who was robbed of the end of the conversation, choked and continued: "And those who can have condensed balsam, judging from the current situation, are nothing more than a few people!" ”

"Who? The Da Gung royal family? King Chen? Chu Qingqing was puzzled, judging from the current situation, only Emperor Da Geng, and King Chen, who gave it, at most, the six kingdoms of the Southern Dynasty and the princes and kings of the north, should the Da Geng royal family extend their hands to the Kingdom of Chen? And what reason does King Chen have to secretly kill his courtiers? Or is it that the Six Kingdoms of the Southern Dynasties and the Northern Departure are going to get involved in Dongchen?

"Yes, but in addition to them, there is a group of people, and there may be." Liu Shuang couldn't suppress the eagerness in his heart, so he had to sit down and calm down, and continued: "A hundred years ago, the Da Geng royal family collapsed, and the lives of those royal nobles were difficult to protect, so they had to give their property to the general with heavy troops to ask for a chance of life, but unfortunately it backfired, and almost no one cared about their lives. And among the things they offered, there was balsam. ”

"So, among the heroes who followed the founding of the country by the previous king, there must be someone who has condensation?" Chu Qingqing finally understood what Liu Shuang wanted to say.

"Da Geng can't afford to get involved in the affairs of our Chenguo, there are ten academic palaces, and the six countries of the North and the South will not take the initiative to provoke trouble, and Chen Wangyan has no reason to do such a thing." Liu Shuang continued, "If an ordinary person gets the balm, he doesn't have the ability, but he has both strength and motivation, and there is only one ......."

"Duke of the Seven Kingdoms." Hearing such an analysis, Chu Qingqing soothed his brows, and after a while, he frowned again.

Knowing what this girl who was only one year older than herself was worried about, Liu Shuang also knew that what she was worried about was precisely what this case was difficult to handle.

The Duke of the Seven Kingdoms is more than the Three Dukes, only under King Chen, even if the left and right are 'powerful', but when he saw the Duke of Guo, he also saluted respectfully, after all, it was the hereditary title of Longwu Wang Yu, although he was cut off his power, and even under the surveillance of King Chen, but no one dared to disrespect him.

One of the eight departments of the Divine Arrest Division, if in the current situation without any substantial evidence, the unauthorized investigation of the Guogong and the discovery of the real culprit is Guogong, if not, it will be beaten back, and the old opponent will inevitably add fuel to the fire at that time, involving the Guogong, and even King Chen will not be able to protect the Divine Arrest Division.

Even if it doesn't lead to a great sin, from now on, how should the Divine Catcher deal with himself?

Although the Seven Divine Catchers are both wise and brave, if they are investigated by the Seven Divine Catches, it will be discovered sooner or later with the reputation and recognition of the Seven Divine Catches.

And a person who is also wise and brave, but is not well known, and is not even afraid of being investigated, is the best person to secretly search for a suspect with an unusual identity like Guogong.

"I think Lord Zhuo transferred me from Lizhou to Wangdu just to deal with the current situation." Liu Shuang's heart was racing, and he said slowly, his voice did not feel mixed with a trace of coldness.
