Li Mi is a resolute person, and since he has decided, he will go to implement it early, but the matter of going to Jiangxia is still delayed for a few days.

First, Zheng Duofu wants to come from Jinling to join Zhang Huangting, and secondly, Li Mi also needs to wait for the iron coupon to be unsealed.

In the past few days, Li Mi also took the opportunity to participate in King Chuding's martial arts lecture to inquire about the situation from Song Zhiwei and Yuan Keli and others, basically feeling a rough idea, and his heart was more confident.

Xu knew that Li Mi would go south in a few days, Xiang Mu also sent more manpower, and he was also working overtime, and finally completely unsealed the iron coupons!

Li Mi heard the news and came to Xiang Mu's mansion for the first time, at this time Xiang Mu was also haggard, after all, he was old, and after working hard for this time, there was a lot more gray hair, and Li Mi was also a little unbearable.

However, Xiang Mu was very excited and excited, after all, at a level like him, the things outside his body were no longer what he wanted, and spiritual satisfaction was the medicine that made him radiant.

"This iron coupon can basically be determined to be a fake, there is no doubt that the content on it is far from the real thing, and it has no exquisite value."

"Is it a fake? In other words, the one in it is not Lu Xun? Li Mi was inevitably a little disappointed, but he was also a little lucky, if it was really Lu Xun, I was afraid that the heroes would make a comeback.

Xiang Mu nodded and said to Li Mi: "Although it's a pity, I think it should be like this." ”

"How did the old brother determine that this was a fake?" At that time, there were no methods such as carbon 14, and the only way to determine the age of old objects was to rely on historical sources and other relevant information.

Xiang Mu Chao Li Mi said: "This is actually simple, as early as the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, the ancestors have begun to use iron tools, it can be said that the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period is the beginning of the Iron Age, to the time of the Northern and Southern Dynasties, there is a steel filling method, and iron tools are more popular." ”

"In the Three Kingdoms and the Two Jin Dynasty, most of the weapons and armor used in battles were already made of iron, but bronze was still used in some areas."

Li Mi heard this kind of origin, and he was also a little puzzled, if this is the case, then there is nothing wrong with this iron coupon appearing in the Three Kingdoms period, how did he determine it?

Xiang Mu saw that Li Mi was puzzled, and he also smiled, and said to Li Mi: "Although iron tools have begun to prevail, this iron coupon is a gift from the emperor, strictly speaking, it is a ritual weapon, have you ever seen anyone who uses iron to make ritual weapons?" ”

Li Mi couldn't help but suddenly realize that although iron is strong, it is easy to rust, and it is indeed not suitable for long-term preservation, and although bronze can also rust, the preservation period is much longer than that of iron.

Therefore, among the civil and military artifacts unearthed in later generations, the bronze artifacts can still maintain their original appearance even if they are thousands of years, but most of the iron artifacts have been necrotic and damaged and cannot be identified.

"I understand, the real thing should be bronze, and the forger uses iron, but I'm afraid it's not clear, only one of them is unknown."

Xiang Mu nodded in agreement and said: "That's right, this is one of the reasons why the old man is sure that the content on the iron coupon is worthless, just ask people who can't even tell whether the ritual should be made of iron or bronze, it can be seen that the historical research is not profound, how can you know the content of Lu Xun's iron coupon?" ”

Li Mi also nodded approvingly, but he was also very glad that it was fake, otherwise the heroes would have dug up this Lu tomb, used the things in it, and cultivated another Lu Xun, wouldn't it be even worse?

This iron coupon has no value, and there is no need to discuss it, but it is the matter of Li Mi going to Jiangxia, Xiang Mu inevitably wants to mention Li Mi, and stays in Xiang Mu's mansion for dinner, and after a long talk, Li Mi returned to his residence with the scrap iron.

He didn't hide it, and told Zhen Mi about the iron coupons and the appraisal results, but the latter was a little incredulous.

Li Mi did not do this without purpose.

Although Zhen Mi was restricted in her personal freedom and could no longer threaten Li Mi's life, she was not completely imprisoned, and perhaps she could still pass on the news in private.

Therefore, Li Mi told her the result, if she could really pass on the news, it would be good for the Qunying Society to know that the Lu Tomb was not Lu Xun's Tomb, and it would be good for the Qunying Society to completely die of this heart.

The blood droplets created by Xiang Mu are also amazing, Zhen Mi no longer dares to resist Li Mi, even if there are differences of opinion on many things, he is just silent, and he no longer dares to insult and provoke.

In addition, Li Mi lost all the iron coupons to her, maybe she could also let her die of this heart, Li Mi also wanted to gain Zhen Mi's trust through this move.

After all, he kept Zhen Mi by his side, not to torture her, but to influence her, and finally make her a loyal partner who could be used by Li Mi.

Although the iron coupon has been confirmed to be waste, Dagui still needs to be studied, and Xiang Mu is not idle.

After another day, Zheng Duofu finally rushed over from Jinling, and after meeting Zhang Huangting, the two were so affectionate, and Li Mi felt a little sour in his heart.

Zheng Duofu is a pampered person, he can't continue to rush to Jiangxia as soon as he arrives in Suzhou, Zhang Huangting accompanied her for two more days, picking up the wind and washing the dust, and the scenic spots in Suzhou are all gone.

Li Mi had no choice but to sort out the information about King Chuding at home, and at noon, someone from Xiang Mu's mansion came again and summoned Li Mi.

Li Mi was also curious, and when he arrived at the place, he saw Jiang Taiyi's face full of joy, it turned out that Jiang Bi followed Li Mi and Song Zhiwei to Chongmingsha and his party, Wu Weizhong also gave him a meritorious service, and this time Jiang Bi finally got the opportunity to become an official!

It was also a coincidence that Jiang Bi got the letter of appointment and saw that he was actually going to Gucheng County, Xiangyang Prefecture to be the county magistrate!

This lake is geographically almost inclusive of the entire territory of Hubei and Hunan in later generations, Li Mi and others are going to Wuchang Mansion, and Jiang Bi is going to Gucheng County, Xiangyang Prefecture, just to go along the way!

This peer is still secondary, Jiang Bi has been disheartened since he was teased by Zhou Yu, and almost cut off his career, and this time it is thanks to Li Mi that he was able to be reinstated.

He also already knew that with his current strength, it would be difficult to investigate a behemoth like the Heroes Society, so he was very happy to be able to get the official position of Gucheng County.

Jiang Taiyi felt most sorry for this son, his son rekindled his fighting spirit because of Li Mi, he was already grateful, and now he was reinstated, he was even more happy, everyone set up a banquet in Xiang Mu's mansion, and invited Yuan Keli and other close people to come over, and had a lively night of wine.

Another day passed, Zheng Duofu and Zhang Huangting had almost finished playing, Jiang Bi was also ready to go to work, and they embarked on a journey south.

This road is also the green mountains and beautiful waters, although there is no ape on both sides of the strait to cry can't stop, the light boat has passed the heroic of the ten thousand mountains, but this trip is young people, and it is a fun-loving character, and the journey will naturally not be boring.

Although Zheng Duofu started from a humble beginning, before Zheng Guifei was not favored, the family was not a noble family, but there was less of everyone's beautiful reserve, but there was more of the jumping out of the mountain and village aunts, and there was no royal family at all.

And after all, her family has ascended to heaven, and they are all powerful people, and they know more insiders, and this time Zhang Huangting participated in King Chuding's martial arts, because the family has a relationship with King Chuding, and they also know more about the affairs of King Chuding's mansion.

This woman already loves gossip, but Li Mi just asked the autumn and winter girl to ask a few times, and she got a lot of fresh and fierce information.

When he arrived at Wuchang Mansion, Li Mi had almost mastered the affairs of Chuding Palace, at least he was no longer blind!

It was also said earlier that Wuchang is an important town in Huguang, and during the Hongwu period, the "three divisions of the Yamen" such as the Huguang Cheng announced the political envoy division, the criminal envoy department and the capital command envoy division, and the government office was in Wuchang City, and the Huguang governor was set up during the orthodox years of Yingzong, and then there were provincial-level military affairs and local military officers such as the governor Huguang, whether it was the governor or the governor-general, they were also stationed in Wuchang.

There are many government offices in Wuchang City, including the governor's yamen higher than the provincial level, the three divisions at the provincial level, and the Wuchang prefecture-level and Jiangxia county-level government offices, so it is called "Huguang City".

Wuchang City is the economic, military and political center of Huguang, which is not an exaggeration at all, densely populated and prosperous in commerce, and is a lively and extraordinary place.

After Li Mi and his entourage came to Wuchang City, they had an illusion, as if they had walked around outside and walked back to Suzhou City.

Of course, there is still some gap between Wuchang and Suzhou, and the architectural styles are also different, but in terms of liveliness, it is not far behind.

Zheng Duofu's family has a relationship with the Chuding Palace, and this time she came down from Jinling, and she also brought many people from the Uncle Mansion, so there is no need to worry that the people in the Chu Palace's Mansion will not recognize her as a golden branch and jade leaf.

Li Mi can also be regarded as stained, and after separating from Jiang Bi and his party who went to Xiangyang Mansion at the dock, he followed Zheng Duofu and Zhang Huangting to the Chu Palace.

When they left the dock and walked to the street, they had only walked about half a mile, and seeing that they had entered the downtown area, Zheng Duofu pointed to the faintly visible mountain peaks and the tall palace wall in front of them and said, "The palace is about to arrive." ”

Li Mi looked up, and was also surprised, a tall palace gate stood in front of him, it was really magnificent, no wonder the saint suspected that the king of Chu was going to rebel!

Especially after listening to Zheng Duofu's introduction, Li Mi became even more determined in this thought!

About in the third year of Hongwu, Zhu Yuanzhang named the sixth son Zhu Zhen as the king of Chu, and the second year he built the palace at the southern foot of Gaoguan Mountain in Wuchang, which took nine years to complete, and the scale can be imagined.

After so many expansions of the King of Chu, there are nearly 1,000 palaces and pavilions, water pavilions, various palaces, halls, and temples in the palace of Chu Wang, and the stone around the palace is the city, which is the royal city.

This royal city probably occupies most of Wuchang City, and it is no wonder that Zheng Duofu only walked halfway through and said that he had arrived at the palace!

Li Mi didn't expect that a vassal king could have such a huge power, and it is not surprising that the palace also has its own various yamen, and has a very high degree of autonomy over the fiefdom.

Just looking at the tall and deep palace wall, Li Mi had already smelled the smell of conspiracy and filth, and inevitably stopped, quietly looking at the palace in the distance.

Gao Guanshan behind the palace looked a little vague and ethereal, although it was very lofty, it was reduced to the background of the palace.

Looking at the Qingdai distant mountains and the red walls and black tiles of the royal city in front of him, Li Mi suddenly had an uneasy premonition.
