Chapter 241: Origin

"Where is the special battalion?".

"Twenty-five miles. We've been changing identities and diverging into teams of all sizes. So it's not far away. Zhou Rui replied.

"Do you know where that cavalry unit is?" Liu Yong knew that the special battalion and the cavalry team had always maintained good contact to coordinate their positions with each other.

"If the last general is right, they should be quietly following behind the Chunnan army now. That's what they notified us with the Flying Eagle, and then I came to report it. Zhou Rui said with confidence.

"Well done." Liu Yong praised: "This time I want to take credit for you." Let's go, let's go see Ye Jingluo together. This thing, the current situation, we say nothing that doesn't count. Hehe. ”

When they came to the study, Ye Tao happened to complete the dismantling and reassembly of the box provided by Wang Shi, and also completed the first simulated lock picking. He breathed a sigh of relief, ready to take a break and start cracking the Zanglong Box. Although it was a simulation, Ye Tao, who was working hard, was still tired and sweating, and was drinking herbal tea. After listening to Liu Yong's explanation, Ye Tao immediately moved to the room where Chen Kai was placed.

There was no loud communication, and there was no hugging back and forth, Ye Tao walked into the room so inconspicuously. Such a scene couldn't help but make Chen Kai have a trace of doubt in his heart.

"Are you Chen Kai? What do you have to say? Ye Tao asked.

"You are Ye Tao?" Chen Kai's question was rather rude, but it bluntly reflected his skepticism.

"Yes. I am. Ye Tao's answer was still simple and plain, but it revealed a solid and substantial confidence.

"Master Ye," Chen Kai reluctantly arched his hand, his current state made it difficult for him to move. "The men who hunted me down killed all my family. In order for me to escape, the last of my men died last night. The guys who were chasing me weren't the gangs they claimed they were. They are a bunch of madmen, a bunch of hypocrites, a bunch of ungrateful thugs......" Chen Kai became agitated.

"You don't have to get excited, who the hell are you? And who are the men who are chasing you? Ye Tao asked calmly, expressing the most basic and critical question.

"I am the eleventh generation of Chen Jiadi, the last prime minister of the previous dynasty. You should be familiar with my ancestors, right? Lord Ye, if you hadn't come up with the so-called Great School of History. I discovered the anomalies of my ancestors by historical research, and perhaps I would not have ended up where I am now. Of course, it's only for a while. Chen Kai said in a self-deprecating tone this identity that surprised everyone. And the people who hunted me down naturally didn't want all kinds of evidence contained in that hidden box to be revealed to the world. ”

"Evidence? What proof does it prove? Ye Tao asked.

"It proves that the ancestor Chen Jia is not the root cause of the fall of the previous dynasty, although he is not a loyal minister and a direct minister, and he is not capable of turning the tide, but he is not a traitor who caused the fall of the dynasty! It proves that there are still Miao descendants in the imperial family of the previous dynasty in the world! Prove that the Daoming Sect is not from God, but a group of careerists and hypocrites! Prove...... Prove...... Prove the hope of ZTE in the Tang Dynasty of the earth. But it was destroyed by a small group of people. Aren't that enough? Chen Kai said eagerly.

Ye Tao still maintained a calm expression, just raised his eyebrows, and said, "Now that there is no fight outside, it is still clean, can you tell me what you know?" I'm still interested in these stories. ”

For Ye Tao, he deliberately disparaged the evidence-proven history as a story. Chen Kai didn't seem to feel it at all. He began to narrate the events that began in the twenty or thirty years before the fall of the Tang Dynasty in the previous dynasty, although it sounded simple, but the various situations contained in it already made people feel emotional.

Chen Jia is indeed not a loyal minister. But there is no doubt that he is indeed the last capable minister before the fall of the Tang Dynasty. Chen Jia was an ordinary scholar, and in the corrupt officialdom at that time, he was no better than anyone else's background. However, Chen Jia started as a small official who supervised local taxation, and while constantly handing over several times the performance of his colleagues, he used dexterous means to meet his superiors, and soon entered the household department, and became a household servant before he was in his thirties. He is known for his outstanding performance and rich and thoughtful interpersonal means. is like a fish in water in the center, and it has also been valued by Yang Yin, the last emperor of the Tang Dynasty. After more than ten years of officialdom games, he finally became a Zaifu. And he stayed in this position until the day of the fall of the Tang Dynasty.

At that time, Chen Jia had unparalleled various insights and means in financial management. In particular, he has been bribing and accepting bribes for decades, and he is very sophisticated and creative in various methods of transferring assets, and he was finally favored by Yang Yin and helped the imperial family transfer assets. Then. Yang Yin had already realized that the fall of the Tang Dynasty was coming. It depends on when the last straw that crushed the dynasty falls. Is it a natural disaster or **? Anything is possible. Yang Yin himself wanted to die with the dynasty, but he wanted his two sons to live well. Even if it's as a civilian.

Chen Jia, as prime minister, accepted the challenge. Although he is indeed not an exemplary courtier, although his efforts to maintain his image on the surface are almost on par with his private operations, he does have a hope, an expectation, and an attachment to Datang. And when he became prime minister, when he saw enough and deep enough, when he realized that he could not change the disintegration of a large unified country no matter what, he naturally fell more and more depraved. However, when Yang Yin made such a request, Chen Jia still complied with it to the letter, which may be the only time he did not discount it at all, but obeyed the holy will a little exceedingly.

In order to do this, Chen Jia even faked the return of the empire. The military victory, the increase in the production of farmland, the rectification of the government, and even the auspicious rain from the sky, it seems that the hope of Zhongxing is imminent. And Chen Jia's glorious impression at that time was also the general impression in everyone's hearts before those abnormal situations were revealed: Chen Jia was a capable minister. In fact, Chen Jia was doing things in various extreme ways that overdrew the strength of the entire empire for many years. At that time, the tax squeezing of ordinary people, the harsh exploitation and disposal of the landlords and wealthy strata without background, and the severity of the situation, did not provoke a large-scale rebellion, which can really be regarded as Chen Jia's means. In addition to the huge expenses of maintaining the empire and buying time for Chen Jia to deploy in various ways, a large amount of money was transferred by Chen Jia in various ways. In fact, the various means of misappropriation and transfer of assets that Chen Jia had tried at that time were simply a wonderful tutorial.

Chen Jia cooperated with the national teacher at that time, Wuchenzi, to form a loyal army with the sole goal of protecting the Miao descendants of the imperial family, and they also bought a lot of assets in various forms and entrusted them to the appropriate family management, so that the Miao descendants of the imperial family could use dividends every year to ensure sufficient expenses. Some of the arrangements existed hundreds of years ago and are still well run in the presence of the firms.

Naturally, Chen Jia will not be paid for doing this. Many relatives and friends related to the Chen family have more or less benefited, as for the wealth that Chen Jia left to his family, although it is indeed a little less than the part that the descendants of the imperial family can enjoy, the difference is not particularly amazing. And after all the arrangements of Chen Jia were implemented one by one, the Tang Empire also fell naturally.

Because it was surrounded by mountains, Xiling at that time could be regarded as a paradise, and most of Chen Jia's arrangements were in Xiling. After arriving in Xiling, the Chen family went incognito, wanting to keep the secret from generation to generation until everyone almost completely erased the memory of the previous dynasty. However, it seems that the situation is not so simple.

The national teacher Wuchenzi and the Chen family are old friends, Wuchenzi is diligent and diligent, and has put a lot of effort into taking care of the Miao descendants of the imperial family, and there is no room for loss in all aspects. Although this national teacher is not a smart person, he is not a treacherous villain, he is still very generous. But one of Wuchenzi's apprentices was completely different. After learning the Tao and martial arts of Wuchenzi, the disciple named Qianjun had a different mind.

For dustless children who don't have children, Qianjun is just like his own children. Qianjun inherited the status of Wuchenzi without hindrance and without suspense. In terms of jointly protecting the descendants of the imperial family, Qianjun is also out-and-out, because for him, there is indeed no more beneficial to himself than doing this well, and it can leave a better aftertaste. However, Qianjun has been doing one thing tirelessly for more than ten years and decades after the fall of the Tang Dynasty: summoning the soul of the dead country.

Qianjun tried various methods: secret societies, assassinations, intimidation, spreading mystical ideas, and so on. Because the last few years of the Tang Dynasty's demise did not leave a good impression in the minds of the people, Qianjun has not achieved any tangible results. But both he and his apprentices slowly realized the strange demagogic power of secret societies and the occult. As a result, when the descendants of the imperial family were hidden deeper and deeper, and even gradually did not even know their true identities, but were only treated as a hidden family with a very small background, this system was expanded and completed from generation to generation, and finally became the prototype of Daoming Sect.

When the power of the Daoming Sect began to accumulate to a certain point. Of course, there are elements of the gradual accumulation of skills and experience of the professional gods of the dustless and uniform system, but what is more important is the great unified empire after the split, and the continuous attacks and mergers of the vassal states in almost the entire territory have made many ordinary people realize that although the last years of the Tang Dynasty are indeed not good, at least many people can still have a way to live. But in the midst of this prince's attack, even if you want to survive, it is not so simple. After the world was divided into four parts and a relatively stable situation was formed, the situation was greatly improved because the countries were recuperating and only intermittently attacking each other after accumulating strength to a certain extent, and the war was increasingly limited to the scope of highly trained professional soldiers, but at this time, in fact, the Daoming sect had formed a climate. Even if, at that time, even the Daoming Sect was not called the Daoming Sect, and it had not finally realized its power.
