Chapter 14 Wenyuan Wooden Cards

After a few days of getting along, the relationship between Murong Jin and Nangong Qi is not so stiff. The two of them would occasionally say a few words after class, and they also went back to the Floating Moon Palace together after class.

After class that day, Murong Jin was about to return to the palace with Nangong Qi, but Gu Shi said to Nangong Qi: "Please go back to the palace first, and I will say a few words to His Royal Highness." ”

Nangong Qi didn't think much about it, and left the school with a "yes". As soon as he stepped out of the school palace, he bumped into a person, Nangong Qi was slightly surprised, "The eldest prince ......"

Murong Jin looked at Gu Shi suspiciously, "Mr. left me behind today, but what's the matter?" ”

Gu Shi didn't answer, just kept rummaging through his shabby bookbag. Murong Jin stood aside and didn't speak, and after a long time, he saw Gu Shi take out a lacquered wooden sign from his book bag, "Please Your Highness take this." ”

Murong Jin hesitated to take it and asked, "This is?" ”

Gu Shidao: "This is the Wenyuan wooden card, with this wooden card, His Highness can enter and exit the Wenyuan Building at will to borrow books." His Royal Highness owes a lot of homework, and he should make up for it. ”

"Thank you, sir."

Gu Shi smiled and said, "Your Highness, don't tell others, your lower officials don't have another wooden card." ”

Murong Jin thanked him again, and then he was puzzled and carefully tucked the wooden plaque into his sleeve.

In the afternoon music class, Murong Jin asked Bai Xiying, "Does Mr. know about Wenyuan Building?" ”

Bai Xiying said: "You don't know about your royal library? ”

Murong Jin shook his head, "I haven't heard of it before. ”

Bai Xiying continued: "Wenyuan Building has been built for some years, and it can be regarded as a royal library. It is said that there are many books in it, and there are royal secrets, but to enter the Wenyuan Building, you must have a Wenyuan wooden card or a holy decree. And there are only ten of these Wenyuan wooden plaques, which were issued to some princes and ministers through the hands of His Majesty. However, it is not known whether there are ten wooden plaques sent out by His Majesty. Why did Your Highness ask this? ”

Murong Jin pretended not to care and said, "It's just that I heard about it by chance, so I felt curious and wanted to ask Mr." ”

Although Bai Xiying was suspicious, he didn't ask any more.

Murong Jin looked for a free afternoon, and while the nagging Ruomei was not there, he casually found an excuse to leave the Floating Moon Palace, and followed the route Gu Shi said 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 Emperor Qing suffered a fire during the reign of Emperor Qing, the building and many ancient books were burned, so it was simply rebuilt. A large number of masonry repairs were used, and the palace attic was built with vegetation and wood on all sides. The shelves and cabinets are all made of light stone. The walls and corridors are carved with the patterns of fire-avoiding beasts, and the roof is embedded with fire-repelling beads, and there are four-sided owls to protect it. There are also 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 can enter. There are several clerks who keep track of the daily addition and deletion of books, as well as the transfer and borrowing of books.

When the chief clerk of Wenyuan Building saw Murong Jin coming, his face was immediately full of smiles, "Your Highness is here today, but what book are you looking for?" ”

"I'll take a look at it at will, and I won't 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, "Naturally, I won't cause trouble for the head of the building." ”

"Your Highness is serious."

The first floor was mostly a place for the clerks to work busily, and Murong Jin glanced at it and went straight to the second floor. On the second floor, there are mostly historical books and classics, recording the history of various countries and the situation outside the border, and there is a compartment where the royal family and portraits of various countries are placed.

Murong Jin soon found the Northern Qi column, where bamboo slips, silk books, and ordinary paper scrolls were all classified and preserved. Murong Jin opened one of the bamboo slips, which recorded the life of the last king of the Northern Qi Dynasty, and there was nothing to delve into in detail. I simply put it down and took another volume of genealogy maps to look at......

The fifth floor is heavily guarded, and the fourth floor is the portraits of the royal family members of the Great Yan Dynasty and the courtiers of the court. 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.

This Wenyuan Building is not very accessible, and there must be unusual books in it. Then, Gu Shi gave him Wen Yuan's wooden card, it was not as simple as asking him to cram a few homework. In this way, what did Gu Shi want him to see that was only in Wenyuan Building? This Gu Shi, who is it?

Murong Jin thought while looking at the wooden chip label hanging down from the scroll.

These portraits were almost made by people from the same clan, and the painters were all surnamed He, and because they came from a family, the style of painting was about the same.

Murong Jin opened a scroll, on which was a Tingting beauty, with a note on the year of birth and death and her identity.

Empress Dowager Fengzhao, Gu. He was born in the fifth year of Emperor Hua and died in the thirty-second year of Emperor Cheng.

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.

Gu's. I don't know Gu Shi's Gu, is it this Gu? Murong Jin was a little curious. If so, then who is this person from the Empress Dowager Feng Zhao?

The genealogy map of the Gu family was not found, but Murong Jin found another problem - the biological mother of each emperor of Dayan was almost always in the emperor's infancy or before and after the emperor's accession to the throne, and the longest was not until the second year of the emperor's accession to the throne. Is this some kind of unwritten rule of Dayan?

In order to prevent chaos in the middle palace, once the throne is determined or the new emperor ascends the throne, his biological mother can never stay in the world?

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

......

"What book is Your Highness reading today?"

"I've looked for two historical books, and I'm tired of being in charge." Murong Jin handed the two books he took at random to the head of the building to record.

"Your Highness has tormented the lower officials, these are what the lower officials should do."

Murong Jin pinched the two books and walked out of Wenyuan Building absentmindedly.

The sun was setting, and when Murong Jin returned to the Floating Moon Palace, the sky had gradually darkened.

Several palace ladies were biting their ears in a pile, and they didn't notice Murong Jin coming in, but Murong Jin listened to their conversation-

"Today I went to the weaving room to get clothes, and I happened to meet Mo Lan, and she said that she was going to Xiqin." A Gong'e said.

"Why do you want to go to Xiqin, she caused that trouble again?"

"Her master is not the fifth prince, His Majesty ordered the fifth prince to go to Xiqin as a proton, and ordered her to follow."

"Really? She didn't bluff you. ”

"How could Mo Lan bluff me," that Gong'e was a little annoyed, "We entered the palace together back then, and we were like sisters." ”

......

Murong Jin frowned, "What about Dongxian?" ”

Only then did everyone turn around and see Murong Jin, and they hurriedly stood up and saluted, "Your Highness." ”

Dong Xian came out of the inner courtyard when he heard the sound, and took the scroll in Murong Jin's hand, "Why did Your Highness come back at this time?" Dinner has already arrived. ”

"I went to Yuefu to ask Mr. Bai some questions, do you have any rumors?"

Dong Xian: "What does Your Highness mean?" ”

"About the Five Princes."

"This ......," Dong Xian pondered for a moment and said, "When the slave went to the pharmacy to get the medicine today, I heard other servants say, 'The medicine of the Fifth Highness has only been boiled for these two days, and when you go to Xiqin, you have to change it into pills and bring it', I don't know if it's true or false." ”

Five Emperor Brothers...... Murong Jin didn't think that although Murong Ju was seriously ill, his mother was still not a concubine, and his mother's family had at most a seven-rank official, so he didn't have to worry about anything. That Murong Ju is really the best proton candidate.

When Murong Jin thought of this, a sense of sadness suddenly rose in his heart. Murong Ju is so sick and weak, if he goes through a long journey and bumps all the way, he doesn't know if he can stay half a life in Xiqin, Your Majesty, he is really ......

"Dongxian, you go and ask the dining room to prepare some stacked green cakes and yam soft cakes, find a food box, and go to the five princes in a while." After saying these words, Murong Jin leaned on the door frame and coughed violently.

Although Murong Jin and Murong Ju are not as close as Murong Yan, they are also very few princes who can speak. Murong Juxing is only one year younger than Murong Jin, and he doesn't like to be close to other people, but he is very sticky to Murong Jin. In the past, when he was in the school palace, he called out one "fourth brother", tugging on Murong Jin's sleeve and asking him some questions. I used to think that little thing was a little annoying, but now it's thousands of miles away.

Murong Jin's chest was clogged, he drank some tea, didn't eat dinner, frowned and picked up a few small jade bottles for half an hour.

The bottle was almost picked, and Dongxian also came back with a food box, "Your Highness, are you going now?" ”

"Go now."

If you don't go, I really don't know how many chances we will have to meet again in the future.
