Chapter 677: A Ridiculous Story
"In that case, how did this treasure box fall into the hands of my mother?"
After a little silence, Ye Yu threw out the doubts in his heart again, because he wanted to know what this complete story was.
Sure enough, Ye Yu's guess was not wrong, Chai Wanyue took a sip of fragrant tea gently, and then sighed and said: "This matter should start with a woman, do I know Zhou Jiamin, the concubine of Li Yu?" ”
"What my mother is talking about is Li Yu, the queen of the Southern Tang Dynasty, and there are two beautiful concubines by her side, known as the little queen of the big and small weeks?"
"Exactly!"
"The treasure box has something to do with this woman?"
Ye Yu was stunned when he heard this, for him who was familiar with history, he Ye Yu had a little dabbling in this period of history.
Li Yu's history in China can be said to be a faint king, but it is undeniable that he is not only a great poet, but also a very glamorous emperor.
Emperor Zhou E and Zhou Jiamin, the two sisters, are the famous queen of Zhou in history, and their beauty is unparalleled, and the two emperors of the Song Dynasty, Taizu and Taizong, are also coveted.
After the Southern Tang Dynasty was destroyed and Li Yu was captured, he was named the Marquis of Disobedience in Kaifeng and worshiped General Zuo Qianniuwei. At that time, Emperor Zhou E had died of illness, and it was vaguely recorded in the history books that Taizong Zhao Guangyi had repeatedly misbehaved with Zhou Jiamin, the queen of Xiao Zhou.
Ancient painters also painted "Xiling Xingxiao Zhou Hou Tu", Ming Shen Defu "Ye Hou Edition": "Song people painted "Xiling Xingxiao Zhou Hou Tu", Taizong wore a head, the face was blue and fat, the limbs were weak after the week, the palace people held it, and the Zhou Hou made a frowning forehead."
Soon after Li Yu was poisoned, Zhou Jiamin also died after Xiao Zhou.
This is the historical material that Ye Yu was familiar with before, but after listening to Chai Wanyue's story today, it seems that there is a continuation of another story in this!
Seeing Ye Yu's eyebrows frowning and puzzled, Chai Wanyue did not hesitate any longer, but said quietly: "This Xuantie treasure box can see the light of day again, and Xiao Zhou can be said to have contributed a lot......"
is another secret that Ye Yu didn't know, and it came from Chai Wanyue's mouth......
When Zhao Kuangyin replaced the Chai family and changed the name of the country to Song, as the third brother, Zheng En complained very much in his heart, but his temperament was somewhat similar to Zhang Fei in the Three Kingdoms.
And every time Zhao Kuangyin faced Zheng En's questioning, he also had an extremely bright rhetoric: that is, after he pacified the other nine countries, he would return this great country to his nephew.
After all, they are all brothers, and the chaos in the world does need a promising master, and the treasure box containing the edict has been lost, Zheng En also acquiesced to Zhao Kuangyin's approach at the beginning.
The two brothers fought side by side to pacify the Central Plains countries, but Zhao Kuangyin was still at a loss for the Xuantie Treasure Box.
Because this treasure box is invasible and cannot be opened, it is absolutely impossible to destroy the treasure box, so after moving the capital to Bianliang, Tokyo, it has been secretly hidden in the Ouchi Imperial Palace.
During this period, Zhao Kuangyin tried to get the two keys of the Chai family and the Zheng family, so that he could open the Xuantie treasure box and destroy it, but the descendants of the Chai family were sensitive to the status of the royal family of the previous dynasty, so Zhao Kuangyin first found Zheng En and Zheng Ziming.
As a sworn brother, Zhao Kuangyin naturally did not treat his brother badly after becoming the emperor, and crowned Zheng En as the king of the three mountains, but Zheng En, who was straightforward, did not appreciate it.
Because he still feels that this country should be returned to the Chai family!
And Zhao Kuangyin obviously doesn't take this brother seriously, how can he retreat when he sits on the dragon chair, and if he Zhao Kuangyin is the main one today, even the descendants of the Chai family are willing to be courtiers, what are you worried about!
For this third brother, Zhao Kuangyin has already had a long-standing grudge, and he is eager to get the key in Zheng En's hand, so he summoned Zheng En into the palace, and then beheaded Zheng En in a drunken state.
This kind of behavior is like Cao Cao's 'mistake' killing by sleepwalking, the effect is the same as the intention!
Killing heroes in vain is not Zhao Kuangyin's style, so there is a beautiful talk in history of 'releasing military power with a glass of wine'. So he had to use drunken mistakes as a cover to behead this righteous brother Zheng En and Zheng Ziming.
Since then, the Zheng family has gradually died, and finally completely faded out of people's sight.
As for that key, before Zhao Kuangyin could ask for it, his end suddenly came......
The ancients never swore an oath, because the ancients believed that there were gods who raised their heads three feet, so they would not break the oaths they made.
And after Zhao Kuangyin destroyed the Southern Tang Dynasty, the retribution for breaking his oath was finally preliminarily fulfilled, because he did not die after all, and he really ended up with a bad death.
Candlelight axe shadow, what is the truth of this eternal mystery, no one can make a correct response, but the initial fulfillment of the vow that will not end well.
Song Taizu Zhao Kuangyin died, and his younger brother Zhao Guangyi ascended the throne as emperor, and later generations called Song Taizong!
Since ancient times, the king of the dead country will not end well, so Li Yu, a great lyricist, was poisoned by Zhao Guangyi's order, and Zhou Jiamin, the queen of Xiao Zhou, naturally hated Zhao Guangyi to the core.
Zhao Guangyi coveted the beauty of Xiao Zhouhou and often left her in the palace to sleep.
After getting drunk once, Xiao Zhouhou overheard the secret of the Xuantie Treasure Box from Zhao Guangyi's mouth.
However, the drunken Zhao Guangyi did not say the specific secret of this treasure box, but in a drunken dream, he said that the treasure box was related to the survival of the descendants of the Zhao family and the Great Song Dynasty.
For Xiao Zhouhou, the national hatred and family hatred have been integrated, and she naturally hopes that the descendants of the Zhao family and the Great Song Dynasty will perish, so she has resisted in every way from the original, and later gently pandered to please Zhao Guangyi.
The true purpose of catering and pleasing against his heart is self-evident, and finally Xiao Zhou later stole the Xuantie treasure chest in the Treasure Pavilion.
Xiao Zhou, who escaped from the palace, was noticed by Zhao Guangyi soon after, so he quickly sent troops to chase after him. Chasing all the way north to the bank of the Yellow River, looking at the rolling Yellow River behind him, Xiao Zhouhou jumped down with a treasure chest in his heart.
Zhao Guangyi ordered to search along the way many times, but after all, there was no result, and the damage of the fragrant jade was still secondary, and the Xuantie treasure chest sank into the Yellow River from then on.
Coincidentally, hundreds of years later, Feng Menglong, a popular novelist in the Ming Dynasty, compiled the vernacular novel collection "Warning the World", which has the famous article "Du Shi Niang's Angry Sinking Hundred Treasure Chests".
This may be a coincidence, but perhaps Feng Menglong was inspired by this secret legend.
After hearing the story, the mystery in Ye Yu's heart has been completely revealed, and he finally understands why the Zheng family has a treasure chest key, and why he has been incognito for so many years.
This treasure chest has gone through several twists and turns for more than a hundred years, and finally returned to the hands of the Chai family, which may be that there is a certain number in the dark.
And the Chai family has been able to survive all these years, in addition to the pressure of the Zhao royal family's scruples about public opinion, and the world's great determination of people's hearts, more importantly, it should be because the treasure chest sunk into the Yellow River can never be opened.
And Zhao Kuangyin's oath back then, the descendants of the Zhao family suffered from the fall, which seems to confirm the fate of the entire Song Dynasty......
The conversation in the attic of Dongtai made Ye Yu understand a fact:
In a piece of history, there are stories that are seen or not seen all the time, and how many can we see from the annals of history?
Do you think that the historical materials you have mastered were compiled by the court historians later and deliberately erased that memory, or did the people in power manipulate the chapters of the historians and compilers against their will?
There is no way to know this, whether it is the official history or the wild history, it is nothing more than written by people, and if you want to record a fragment objectively and selflessly, unless you are a generation of sages, you can do it.
But in the past 5,000 years, Confucius has been a sage alone......
