Chapter 119: The relics are left behind, and the task is accepted
An Wenping left the imperial capital and came to Dongkan Prefecture with a secret mission. The content of this mission didn't even know his favorite Mu Zixuan.
His mission is threefold, to find the treasure of the Huangfu clan, to recruit peace to the Mu clan and even the entire barren mountain bandits, and to find the descendants of Lin Xiang, who has fled and disappeared.
After the Yu royal family got Lin Xiang's notes, they have not been able to study the whereabouts of the treasure. Because although it clearly records that there is a treasure, and even records the details of the treasure in detail, it does not record where the treasure is. It's just looking at flowers in the mirror, which makes people can't ask for it, and they are really angry that Uncle Yu Yuan and others jump to their feet.
In addition, after Lin Huai stole back the manuscript of the handwritten book, he hid it without a trace. Over time, the search for the whereabouts of the treasure made no progress, and it could only end without a problem, and even the notebook in Yu's hand was thrown into the palace where the book was collected by Uncle Yu Yuan, and the ashes were collected.
Back then, An Wenping racked his brains in order to marry Mu Zixuan. Facing the behemoth Anguo Mansion, An Wenping could only turn to Uncle Yu Yuan, the only one who could suppress the elders in the Anguo Mansion. However, as the emperor of the Yu family, how could he come to make An Wenping happy based on his preferences. An Wenping is not his son, not to mention that even his son cannot have this kind of treatment, and besides, he does not have that big face in front of Uncle Yu Yuan.
After all, there is a price to be paid for everything. He has to show his loyalty to the emperor first, and then tempt him with benefits, and only with benefits can everything succeed.
At that time, An Wenping first thought of the treasures recorded in the relics of his biological mother, Emperor Wenjun's handwritings.
He didn't understand why his mother's relics kept the handwriting of Emperor Wenjun, and his father's explanation was that his mother's ancestor was a great scribe, and at the end of the Tianyu Dynasty, he was a minister in the court, and his status was prominent.
His father's explanation could not explain it clearly, even if his mother's ancestral status was prominent, how could he get the handwritten notes of Emperor Wenjun and keep them specifically. Does the mother have anything to do with the Huangfu family? But because his biological mother was just an ordinary concubine in his father's An Xiangui's mansion, An Wenping denied this fleeting idea.
I don't understand, but it doesn't prevent him from taking his mother's relics very seriously, not to mention that they are well kept, and often he will quietly take them out and take a look at them alone, and miss his mother who has never met.
In Emperor Wenjun's notes, most of the records are her daily life, including Emperor Yunshang's teachings to her, bits and pieces of her relationship with Emperor Zhaohuai, and some views on past history. There are also some missing pages, as if they were deliberately torn off.
On the last page of that notebook, there are a few paragraphs written by Emperor Wenjun to a person named "Fu'er", which roughly means that he hopes that he will grow up healthily, be safe and smooth, and live his life worthy of the name of his ancestors and clans, and also mention that Empress Shangwu once left a huge treasure.
However, Emperor Wen Jun emphasized to the man named "Fu'er" that he would not be allowed to look for the treasure, but instructed him that one day, if he or his descendants met the imperial aunt and grandmother, please inform her about the treasure.
As for the whereabouts of the treasure, Emperor Wen Jun only wrote a short sentence: "Even if there are people in the world who know the treasure, no matter who it is, they will only hear about it and cannot find it, even if they see its door, they will not know it." Because, the treasure cannot be found by the grandmother who is not the emperor's aunt, and the grandmother who is not the emperor's aunt cannot be opened. ”
Who is the grandmother of the imperial aunt that Emperor Wenjun is referring to? He deliberately checked it, compared with the records of the Huangfu family in the history books, and sorted out a brief genealogy, among which only three people can be called "Imperial Aunt Grandmother" by Emperor Wenjun, but two of them have been degraded to concubines, and it stands to reason that they should not be counted in it, but the remaining one died short-lived.
In this regard, An Wenping was also entangled for a while.
An Wenping has always been more obsessed with the day when his grandfather will impress him, and feels that the treasure is an opportunity, so he didn't dwell on it for too long, but deliberately searched around for relevant history, trying to find the whereabouts of the treasure.
Mother's relics are naturally not allowed to be shown, especially since my father has told me countless times. While looking for the whereabouts of the treasure, he also used his special habit of making fakes to make a fake notebook.
This little habit is also forced by life and has to do it. Don't look at him growing up next to An Guogong, but he is very strict in his food, clothing, housing and transportation, and he has no money in his hands. In order to facilitate some things, he had to use silver money to dredge them, so he found a not-so-fair way to make money and make fakes.
Under his painstaking search, he had no clue where the treasure really was, but he still found signs that some places were important to the Huangfu family.
In order to let Uncle Yu Yuan support him to marry Mu Zixuan, An Wenping went to the palace to visit, informed him about the treasure, and presented his income over the years, as well as the fake notebook, but he didn't want to, it turned out that the emperor already knew about the treasure left by the Huangfu family.
At that time, he had no bargaining chips to use, and he was in a hurry, and instead mentioned that he wanted to marry the daughter of the Mu family, not because he loved each other much, but completely for the sake of the country and the emperor.
He knew that for the Fourteen Kingdoms, the Barren Mountain bandits were actually a big problem, and he wanted to share the emperor's worries and outwit the Barren Mountain bandits. Moreover, the strength of the Mu clan is extremely strong, if it can be recovered, it can be said to be a big boost to the Heavenly Oracle, so he wants to become the son-in-law of the Mu clan patriarch, he can enter it, and finally persuade him to completely naturalize in the Heavenly Oracle, submit to the emperor, and even use his hand to unify the twelve barren bandits.
I don't know what happened that moved Uncle Yu Yuan, and An Wenping got his wish to get the marriage decree. But at the same time, I also got a secret message.
The emperor had read the income and fake notes he had presented, and knew that he had researched the treasure in the territory of the Heavenly Oracle Kingdom, and the most likely direction was in the Eastern Kan Prefecture. So, he sent someone to send him the gray Lin Xiang's handwriting, told him to study it carefully, and asked him to go to Dongkan Prefecture to take up his post and be sure to find out the true whereabouts of the treasure.
At the same time, the emperor also accepted the suggestion of the Zhao'an Mu clan, but his mother-in-law Mu Chengling was famous, and the emperor knew that she was not such an easy person to be dealt with, so he asked him to work hard and strive to be a good son-in-law of the Mu family, even if he got some news from it that was beneficial to the Heavenly Oracle.
In the end, the emperor suspected that the whereabouts of the treasure fell into the hands of the person who had fled, and ordered him to find its whereabouts.
