Chapter 524: The Loyal Traitor (2)
The things told in the first story, An Xiaoyu felt like an experiment in origin at first glance, piecing people together, what four hands and three eyes, etc., and there was a special lighting effect, but in the end, it seemed to explode because something went wrong, which was terrifying.
But compared with these two articles in Gushi County, although the other two articles did not appear anything weird, they seemed more creepy.
The second story says:
"In the sixteenth year of the Yuan Dynasty, Emperor Fan was the emperor, and all kinds of waste were waiting to be revived. The court officials were lax and mixed, and Emperor Fan was struggling with government affairs, and asked Zuo Cheng for advice. Zuo Chengyan: Enlighten the people's wisdom, and recommend it. The emperor then handed it over to various states, counties and counties, and gathered people of insight from all over the world in the court, and he was able to get sixteen. He has been in power for five years, and he has been politically connected. ”
"There are many words in the market, there are talents in the world are not in the flower lane, and many talented people in the capital are impressed. The emperor ordered the sixteenth to try, and the talented people hid their faces and returned, and they all asked for appointment, and the emperor asked for the law in Huaxiang. This person said that although the emperor is political, the people's hearts are still floating. The emperor is overjoyed, and Ren Youcheng. ”
"Right Cheng three years, the emperor traveled, from Beijing and the east, the people went on the way, sang countless praises, and the emperor returned to Beijing with great joy. Suddenly, one day and night, Taishi Ling stole into the emperor's bed, used his sword to coerce the emperor, and said that the person who was the right evil ghost was brave even though he died. The emperor ordered the guards to behead him, and he did not mourn in secret. ”
"The next day, the emperor tried to be right, no different."
"In the twenty-fifth year of the Yuan Dynasty, the emperor collapsed, the right man was the emperor, and hundreds of officials, soldiers and civilians obeyed it. From time to time, there are neighbor envoys who visit, and they see hundreds of officials who seem to be non-living, and they see wandering spirits at night, serving officials with white faces, shining eyes, liver and gallbladder cracking, and abandoning the joint staff and returning in a hurry. ”
Roughly speaking, in the sixteenth year of the Yuan Dynasty, the two pretense of competing for the position of the emperor finally divided the winners and losers, and an emperor named Fan ascended the throne, and the country was in ruins. The hundreds of officials in the court can not be used, and there are everyone, the emperor is worried about how to govern, so he asked Prime Minister Zuo.
Prime Minister Zuo said that the wisdom of the people should be opened up and the recommendation system should be implemented. So the emperor asked the states, counties and counties to push back layer by layer, bringing together the most knowledgeable and intelligent people in the world to the imperial court, a total of sixteen people who were the pillars of the country, and after five years of government, the country began to stabilize.
At that time, there were many legends in the market that there was a person who was not found by the wasteland, and was humiliated in a place like Hualiu Lane, and many talented people in the capital went to Hualiu Lane to see this person, and they all said that this person was indeed a talented person.
The emperor then asked the sixteen ministers he had obtained to test this person, and these ministers all returned in shame, and wrote to the emperor to ask the emperor to let this person come out to govern the world, so the emperor invited this person out of Hualiu Lane and asked him how he should govern the world.
This man told the emperor that although he controlled the court, reformed the system, and was politically proficient, he had not yet won the hearts of the people, and the people had not yet been notified to submit to him from the bottom of their hearts. After hearing this, the emperor felt that he was worried about it, so he was very happy and appointed this person as the right prime minister.
Right Cheng was in power for three years, the emperor came out to observe the people's feelings, from the capital to the easternmost part of the dynasty, many people gathered on the side of the road where the emperor passed, the voice of singing praises and virtues did not stop, the emperor returned to the capital in a comfortable mood, and felt very satisfied.
Suddenly, one day, Tai Shi Ling, who was in charge of recording history and supervising the emperor's words and deeds, sneaked into the emperor's bedroom, took the emperor hostage with a sword, and said that the right prime minister was an evil and strange person, and although he would die, he still had to be brave enough to tell the truth. The emperor asked the guards to kill Tai Shi Ling, but there was no announcement.
The next day, the emperor tried the right prime minister, but did not find any of them.
In the twenty-fifth year of the Yuan Dynasty, Emperor Fan died suddenly, and the right prime minister ascended the throne as the new emperor, and all the officials, soldiers and civilians accepted this matter.
At that time, the envoys of neighboring countries came to visit, and saw that the officials in the court were all confused, as if they were not living people, and at night they saw wandering ghosts everywhere, wearing official uniforms, their faces were white, and their eyes were glowing blue, which frightened him so much that he didn't even want the envoy's scepter, and hurriedly cannon fodder his own country.
The third story belongs to the record of singing praises of virtue, which is a simple note of a literati of the time, which reads:
"In the twenty-eighth year of the Yuan Dynasty, the emperor traveled, the whole country celebrated, and the afterglow dispersed on the ninth day, and the true son of heaven was also."
This sentence is very simple, there are twenty-eight years of the Yuan, the emperor came out to observe the people's feelings, and the same as what Emperor Fan did before, the people of the whole country are boiling, they are very happy to see the emperor, and when the emperor returns to the capital, the atmosphere of celebration will completely dissipate in nine days, this emperor can really be called the Son of Heaven.
Judging from the content, this sentence is the least weird record.
But the problem is that this story takes place after the death of Di Fan and the succession of the so-called right man. If nothing else, this emperor who is welcomed by the whole country should be the original right prime minister, a person with a mysterious origin and strange methods.
There is no record of how the right prime minister controlled the ministers and officials, how he killed the emperor, and how he inherited the throne. But An Xiaoyu can imagine that this right prime minister has definitely turned all the officials into puppets.
Just as the envoy of the neighboring country saw it, these puppets would come out and wander around at night, and during the day they would be confused and have no thoughts of their own, and it was hard to imagine whether the whole country had become a puppet of Youcheng.
This probably explains why the account of the element is so difficult to find. Because since the twenty-fifth year of Youyuan, there have been no living people in the whole country!
An Xiaoyu was taken aback by her own thoughts, and couldn't help but shiver.
But she immediately thought of one more thing, that is, since Youyuan has become a ghost city, who recorded this last record? Is this person a subject of Yuan? If so, how did he live in such a country, and why did he write such words?
An Xiaoyu closed the book and saw the name written on the cover - "Notes on Qiancaozhai".
The author did not leave a real name, only the name of Mr. Qiancao.
After pondering for a while, An Xiaoyu felt that the truth about Youyuan back then might be about to fall on this so-called Mr. Qiancao, so she communicated with Jing Santing, and there was one more point to focus on in the future, and An Xiaoyu felt that the regular history could no longer meet her needs, so she planned to look for Tinglei.
But An Xiaoyu didn't know how to contact Tinglei, and there was no news about Tinglei, so she asked Jing Santing with a try-and-see attitude, but she didn't expect the old man to be furious and directly say dirty in front of everyone.
"Listen to Thunder? What kind of historians are they? Are they recording the right history? A group of historical blasphemers! I'm going to fuck listen to Ray! Still listening to Ray? Listen to the money is about the same! They are just a bunch of mercenary guys, who do everything and write whatever they receive money! ”
"I'm telling you, Listen to Ray, those guys don't have a good thing! You'd better not get too close to them, I'm not going to tell you where their people are! I can't watch the history of the empire become polluted, and it grows more and more polluted. ”
An Xiaoyu was stunned for a moment, and when she went out, a senior sister told her: "When the professor used to develop a monument, everyone deduced the age and identity of the monument together, but suddenly someone got the news from Tinglei and overturned their inference. ”
"At that time, this matter was in an uproar in the historical circles, and the professor had just been rated as a professor, and the first time he concluded that the era was objected to, he was naturally very concerned, so he studied it with a few bigwigs, and the result was still the same result."
So the matter was divided into two factions, one group believed in the research of historians, after all, they were all justified. The other faction insisted on listening to thunder, because it was said that the records of listening to thunder were the records that their people had seen with their own eyes at that time. ”
In the end, this matter was settled, and the entire orthodox historical community began to resist Tinglei. Although Tinglei did not come forward to argue with reason, this situation has already been formed, so history and Leiting are regarded as a flood beast. ”
An Xiaoyu smiled: "Senior sister thinks so too?" ”
The senior sister smiled mysteriously: "My opinion is not important, I'm just a small person, but where is there anything in history that is absolutely true and absolutely false?" We are not ancients. ”
An Xiaoyu nodded: "Senior sister is a wise man." ”
However, although the senior sister is a wise man, it is impossible to know the contact information of Tinglei, this group of guys is really too hidden, and there is no interest entanglement, so there is no contact with the outside world, An Xiaoyu asked a lot of people but did not get results, very helpless.
So she had no choice but to go home and continue to look up some historical materials.
But the moment she opened the door, a card fell through the crack in the door. It is a card made of a special metal, soft and tough, and made very lightly, otherwise it would not have been inserted into the closed crack of the door without being discovered.
An Xiaoyu picked up the card from the ground and saw two small words written on the bottom of the dark card, "Listen to thunder".
Listen to Lei actually took the initiative to find it? An Xiaoyu was a little surprised, and then turned to the north of the card, and saw a string of numbers written on it, An Xiaoyu was in a trance, almost thinking that the immortal old man had been resurrected again, and he came out of the stone statue and left her a message.
Searching on the map with ease and finding the address on it, An Xiaoyu looked at the four digits representing the time on the card again, smiled, put the card in his pocket, opened the tranquility, and flew out of the villa directly from the window, and flew towards the address on the map.
The address recorded on the card is not in the inner city of the imperial capital, but in the suburbs, where the inhabitants are very mixed, and the underground forces are also chaotic.
An Xiaoyu found the point on the coordinates, which was the end of a street, where there was a small courtyard with the gate closed.
stepped forward and knocked on the door twice, and it didn't take long for footsteps to be heard inside, and a young man walked out from inside, saw An Xiaoyu, and said with a smile: "Ling Yin has been waiting for His Highness for a long time." ”
After speaking, he let An Xiaoyu into the courtyard, and then looked and looked at the door, looking at all the corners, face An Xiaoyu, an active duty soldier who has studied reconnaissance and counter-reconnaissance in this system, admired his professionalism a little, but he was curious in his heart, who were they guarding against?
The young man closed the courtyard door and said apologetically to An Xiaoyu: "Your Highness is very human, so naturally you have to guard against extraordinary things, and I hope Your Highness will forgive me." ”
An Xiaoyu nodded, knowing that he might bring someone to guard against him, but who was going to make Tinglei so guarded?
When a horse is born? Origin? Or the person behind you?
She thought as she followed the young man into the courtyard. Although he is a young man, compared to An Xiaoyu, he is not young, but he looks like a baby face, which makes An Xiaoyu feel that he is not very old, and he is very young.
There is nothing in the yard, it is also very small, there are a lot of sundries in the corner of the wall, and it is the second courtyard, after the second gate, you will see a small long courtyard, but it is cleaner and tidier than the outside, and the rose is sitting on the other side of the yard, peeling beans.
Seeing An Xiaoyu coming, Rose patted the bean stalk on the apron and said with a smile: "The beans harvested in autumn haven't had time to peel them after drying them for a winter." ”
This is the second time An Xiaoyu has seen Rose, but Rose did not wear a mask, the mask with a tattoo of Rose was hung on her waist, revealing an ordinary and ordinary, extremely plain face, with some wrinkles at the corners of her eyes, about thirty years old.
An Xiaoyu didn't say anything, just nodded, knowing their sincerity, I really wanted to know what was the matter with listening to Lei looking for herself? Obviously, she has the right talent, but she can't react to the current situation.
Sitting beside Rose, the young man poured An Xiaoyu a cup of tea and exited the second courtyard.
An Xiaoyu didn't drink tea, but picked up the sun-dried yellow from the ground with her right hand, and after a winter, the bean stalks were covered with moldy bean stalks, pulled out a dry bean, and began to peel the beans with the rose.
Rose was stunned for a moment and handed An Xiaoyu an apron. An Xiaoyu had air flow around her body, and the bean stalks and leaves did not stick to her body, and she said very domineeringly: "I don't need it." ”
The current Tai Shi Ling, who listened to Lei, looked at An Xiaoyu, and really couldn't figure out what kind of path An Xiaoyu was, but she could see that An Xiaoyu had no rules at all, and you could completely ignore her behavior, otherwise she would be led astray.
So Rose also sat down again, picked up a bean seedling, picked up the beans and said: "This time, I heard that Shaozong is looking for Tinglei again, so I took the opportunity to invite Shaozong to come over, in fact, we are also sometimes sober and want to ask His Highness for help, so according to the rules of Tinglei, we can actually make a transaction." ”
As if she hadn't heard her words, An Xiaoyu suddenly asked, "Who are you guarding against?" Is it fear that our trade will be known to your enemies, or is it afraid that my enemies will know about it? ”
Rose smiled bitterly, knowing that An Xiaoyu would definitely ask this question, so she said: "Actually, he is not my enemy, nor is he the enemy of His Highness, speaking of which, maybe he is still our common enemy?" ”
"Who?"
"Gulau ......"
"Zhang Shujie?" An Xiaoyu raised her eyebrows, if she wanted to say that Zhang Shujie would harm herself, she would not believe it ten thousand.
Rose explained, "It's not Zhang Shujie, it's Gu Lao himself. Zhang Shujie and Gu Lao are not the same people, or Zhang Shujie and the organization behind them are actually not all the way, but they came together by taking advantage of the trend. ”
"Huh?" An Xiaoyu's movements in his hand paused and asked, "What do you know?" ”
Sighing, Rose said: "I have met Zhang Shujie before, we have also fought side by side, it is considered a friend of life and death, for her, I believe in her as much as His Royal Highness, and I am the same as His Highness now, I just regarded Gu Lao as Zhang Shujie's subordinate." ”
"Not really?" An Xiaoyu began to understand.
Rose shook her head: "Gu Lao is not Zhang Shujie's subordinate, if you want to guess, I think it is likely to be like this, Zhang Shujie has formulated a series of plans related to His Highness, such plans are certainly harmless to His Highness, but their organization does not believe Zhang Shujie, so they sent another person over." ”
"Gurau." Ann whispered and groaned.
"Exactly."
"Gurau has done anything that has done anything to your detriment? Or do you know what he's doing something else? Why is this speculation? An Xiaoyu didn't easily believe Rose's words.
"Speaking of which, it's kind of that I'm too gullible to believe him. I thought I had a good relationship with Zhang Shujie, I believed Gu Lao's words, and accepted the cultivator's method of using star energy, thinking that His Highness should already know about it, but then I realized that things were not so simple. ”
"Is there a problem with the method of using star energy?" An Xiaoyu was stunned for a moment, and immediately thought of the crux of the problem.
"Lately, I've often fallen into a deep sleep, which is an abnormal sleep state for a practitioner. And in my deep sleep, I often dream of bloody scenes, in which I incarnate as a demon god and slaughter the people. With the increase in these dreams, my personality has recently begun to change in my waking state. ”
Rose smiled bitterly, stretched out her hand and showed An Xiaoyu the soybeans in her hand: "I have no choice but to rely on this way to meditate." ”
"Isn't the method of star energy used for your benefit to you?"
"If I'm not mistaken, the benefits that Zhang Shujie gave me actually have something else, but Gu Lao replaced this thing without authorization. So far, it is not known what the opinions between Zhang Shujie, Gu Lao and their organizations are. ”
An Xiaoyu groaned slightly, and didn't express any opinions, just asked, "What deal do you want?" ”
Rose said, "I've tried to get rid of the starlight these days, but it's already at the core, so ingrained that I can't. If Your Highness wants to get any information, we can open it to His Highness, and I only hope that His Highness can help him when he wants to get rid of star energy in the future. ”
An Xiaoyu's heart moved slightly, and she suddenly thought of something, so she asked Rose:
"By the way, how many times is your star energy enhanced?"
