Chapter 22 The Building of Wenyuan

"What, you have a crush on someone?"

"Nope."

Murong Shu smiled and patted Murong Jin's shoulder, "It's good to know that you feel sorry for the little girl, but little Ah Si, you have to remember that in the emperor's house, you must not have true feelings, you know?" ”

"Whoever it is?"

"Whoever it is."

"What about family affection?"

Murong Shu laughed and said, "Little Ah Si, in the future, you will understand what a luxury the royal family affection is. ”

......

The two shadows, one large and one small, were a little hazy in the faint afterglow, as if they had fallen into the painting. In such a high-walled and deep palace, it seems a little out of place.

The spring breeze blows gently through every corner of the palace, and the begonias in the garden have been blooming very well recently. Murong Jin picked a newly bloomed flower and put it in the book, and after a while, it was completely dried in the book, leaving a residual fragrance and a vague flower shape, which was another kind of fun.

"Sir, do you know, who is Gu Shi?"

Bai Xiying played with a budding poppy, and said unconcernedly: "Isn't he the sacrificial wine of your school palace?" What, did you find any problems? ”

"This person is quite eccentric, I don't mean the personality and style, this person's identity and behavior seem to hide a secret." Murong Jin said.

"This person is deeply relied on by His Majesty, and he is a scholar of the Hanlin Dynasty in the current dynasty. It is said that because of the incorruptibility of the officials, even the mansion is very dilapidated. But I don't know when I entered the palace and how I became an official. Rumors only say that this person is a piece of jade found by His Majesty in the academy, which is worth carving. But it is indeed very strange that a small academy student, once he appreciates it, will be promoted to a third-grade important minister. ”

Murong Jin closed the scroll, "This person seems to have a good relationship with his father and Uncle Rui, not like ordinary monarchs and ministers. ”

"I'll have someone check it," Bai Xiying said, "It's just that if Your Majesty wants to deliberately conceal this person's identity, it is estimated that nothing will be found." ”

Bai Xiying walked around the rockery and looked at the koi fish coming and going in the pond on the side, "There are a lot of strange people, don't you think that King Narui is also very strange recently?" Why is he suddenly so close to you, even if it is an uncle and nephew, he has not had a relationship for so many years, but these days he seems to suddenly remember that there is a nephew like you, and other princes have not seen how much he cares. ”

Murong Jin looked at Bai Xiying, thought for a moment and said, "Sir, you seem to have something to do with Uncle Rui Wang?" ”

Bai Xiying smiled: "How can I have anything to do with him." ”

"Uncle Rui seems to be pinching the time every time he comes to Fuyue Palace, but he has to bump into you every time. Moreover, he seems to care a lot about Mr., but Mr. is very indifferent every time, and he has never looked at Uncle Rui Wang. A few days ago, Uncle Rui Wang also told me that Mr. is a bad person, let me be wary of you. Murong Jin said slowly, "But I don't know what kind of bad thing Mr. did to Uncle Rui Wang." ”

Bai Xiying's fingertips were dipped in a drop of water, and he waved his hand, hitting Murong Jin's eyebrows. Murong Jin raised his hand to wipe it away, only to feel a little pain in his eyebrows. But he heard Bai Xiying say: "What do you think about all day long, but it's just a stupid person, what can I do to a fool." In the past, he came to the door and talked to him for a few words, which probably annoyed him, and he still holds a grudge. ”

Murong Jin continued to open the scroll, but his eyes fell on the pages of the book a little empty, and his mind was not here.

The wooden sign of Wenyuan Building can be said to be a pass, and only those who hold it can enter Wenyuan Building. The surprise of Emperor Yan and King Rui was due to the special nature of this thing, or because of Gu Shizhi's actions. Wenyuan Building is not an ordinary place to store books, and there are even heavy guards in some areas, so it is not as simple as letting him cram a few homework books when Gu Shi gives him Wen Yuan's wooden card. In this way, did Gu Shi want him to see something that was only available in Wenyuan Building? If so, should you check it out?

Bai Xiying looked at the clouds in the sky, counting the hours, it was almost over.

"I still have some things to do today, so I will stay soon."

"If the gentleman walks slowly, the student will not send it."

Bai Xiying walked halfway through, and turned back uneasily, "Your Highness didn't bring an attendant today, so it's better to go back to the palace earlier." ”

Murong Jin smiled: "Thank you, sir, it's just that I was able to stay alone for a while today, so I thought it would be good to go back later." ”

Bai Xiying said helplessly: "It's okay." ”

After Bai Xiying left, Murong Jin stayed for a while before leaving Xun Garden. But instead of going in the direction of the Floating Moon Palace, he went in the direction of Wenyuan Tower.

Wenyuan Building was built in the reign of Emperor Cheng and has been more than 80 years so far. Because there was a fire during the reign of Emperor Qing, many ancient books and important texts were burned, so they were simply rebuilt. A large number of masonry repairs were used, and the surrounding area was far away from the grass and wood to build palace pavilions. The bookshelf and pavilion are all made of stone, and the walls and corridors are carved with the patterns of the fire-avoiding beasts, and the roof is embedded with fire-proof beads, and there are four-sided owls to protect it. There are several large water storage tanks outside the building, and the lighting and candles in the building are covered with glass.

There are guards guarding the outside of the Wenyuan Building, and those who hold the Wenyuan wooden card or the holy decree or the oracle can enter. There are several clerks who keep track of the new books added each day, as well as the dates and characters they borrow and return.

When the chief clerk of Wenyuan Tower saw Murong Jin coming, his face immediately filled with a smile, "Your Highness is here today, but what book are you looking for?" ”

"Feel free to take a look at the palace, you don't have to bother the lord of the building."

The palm said: "Then it will not disturb His Highness, but the inner partition of the third floor of this Wenyuan Building, without His Majesty's order, no one is allowed to enter, and I hope His Highness ......"

Murong Jin nodded: "This palace naturally won't cause trouble for the head of the building." ”

"Your Highness is serious."

Murong Jin did not linger on the first floor as before, but went straight to the second floor. Most of the books on the second floor are historical books, which record the history of various countries and the situation outside the border. Murong Jin quickly found the Northern Qi column, where bamboo slips, silk books, and general paper scrolls were all classified and preserved.

What exactly did Gu Shi want him to see? Murong Jin thought as he looked at the hanging wood chip label. If it was something in the compartment on the third floor, Gu Shi should also know that he couldn't go. So, what exactly?

This Wenyuan Building is very accessible, and there must be unusual books in it. Murong Jin opened a scroll of bamboo slips, which recorded the life of the last king of the Northern Qi Dynasty, and there was nothing to study in detail. simply put it down, took another volume of genealogical maps to look at, and only when he saw that the main vein of Northern Qi was only Wan Qizhi and Wan Qiyu in the end, he was relieved.

The fifth floor is heavily guarded, and the fourth floor is a portrait of members of the royal family and courtiers of the past dynasties. On the third floor, there are four people guarding the inner compartment and the outer compartment, separated by a sliding door with a lock. Murong Jin only lingered on the fourth floor.

These portraits were almost made by people of the same clan, and the painters were all surnames, so the painting style is generally similar.

Murong Jin opened a scroll, on which was a Tingting beauty, with a note of sudden birth and an annotation of identity next to it.

Empress Dowager Fengzhao, Gu. He was born in the fifth year of Vantage and died in the forty-eighth year of Vantage.

If Murong Jin remembers correctly, this Empress Dowager Fengzhao should be the biological mother of Emperor Yan of the current dynasty, who died in the year that Emperor Yan ascended the throne. After all, she is still Murong Jin's imperial grandmother, and she seems to treat him well when she was a child.

Gu's. I don't know Gu Shi's Gu, is it this Gu? If so, why didn't Emperor Yan say it?

If so, then who should this person be the Empress Dowager Fengzhao, and what is the purpose?

It's just that Dayan's royal genealogy is locked in a secret room and cannot be viewed. However, Murong Jin did find another problem - the biological mother of every emperor of Dayan was almost always in the emperor's childhood or the year the emperor ascended the throne, and the longest was not more than two years after the emperor ascended the throne. Is this some kind of regulation of Dayan?

In order to prevent the middle palace from seizing power, once the new emperor ascends the throne, his biological mother will never be able to stay in the world?

Murong Jin couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart.
