Chapter 316: A Chasm

Yan Runsheng nodded and said, "Exactly!" Back then, he was able to find the dragon's head mountain, but he also made a contribution. After he buried the former prince, he told me about another incident, which was what happened in Yunzhou City. ”

Yan Runsheng: "He told me that the sixth prince, that is, the current emperor, knows that there is an ancient tomb in Yunzhou City, which contains priceless funerary goods, among which is a fine sword. This sword was later taken out by Captain Touching Gold. He also had some connections with those captains who touched gold, and only then did he learn that the emperor wanted to take this sword and give it away. ”

Yan Runsheng: "At that time, the former prince was framed and imprisoned by the emperor, and he couldn't be angry. also knew that Zhong Bingkun was jealous of Zhong Bingliang, so he informed Zhong Bingkun of the matter and asked Zhong Bingkun to design and take the sword. It's just that what he didn't expect was that Zhong Bingkun was so vicious, not only robbed the sword, but also killed more than ten lives in the dart game! This is also something he regrets. ”

Zhong Yuqi smiled and said, "You can't believe what you say!" The emperor got something good, and he just let people take it back to the capital, what kind of dart is it for? ”

Yan Runsheng said: "At that time, it was not convenient for the emperor to reveal his identity. In order to give back to General Meng, the emperor wanted to send a treasure to General Meng, so he sent people to the market to inquire about where there were treasures suitable for martial artists. ”

Yan Runsheng: "Those who touched the gold school told the people who inquired that there was an ancient tomb in Yunzhou City, and there was a sword from the ancient period in it. It's just that the ancient tomb is extremely difficult to enter, and to obtain the sword, you need a thousand taels of gold as a reward. ”

Yan Runsheng: "The emperor urgently needed the support of General Meng at that time, so he gritted his teeth and agreed. However, it was inconvenient for the captain to reveal his identity to the outside world, so he told the emperor that he would pay half of the deposit first, and wait until the sword was transported to the capital, and then the people in the dart bureau would get back the other half of the gold. The emperor also agreed. ”

Yan Runsheng: "After those tomb robbers obtained the sword, they asked Zhong Bingliang to take the dart. Because, Zhong Bingliang's dart game is very prestigious in the county. ”

Yan Runsheng: "At that time, the former prince was unjustly imprisoned, so he stayed in the capital to find out the news. happened to meet these touching gold captains, and they were from the same division again, so they got together and talked for a while. The lieutenants who touched the gold told him about it, and asked him to go and make a fortune together, but he refused. ”

Yan Runsheng: "Later, he found out that the person who asked the captain to steal the sword was the emperor, so he hurried to Yunzhou City." It just so happened that those tomb robbers obtained the sword, pretended to be a businessman who came from other places to do business, and then hid the sword under the box and asked Zhong Bingliang to escort the dart. ”

Yan Runsheng: "After he learned the news, he made up his mind and revealed the news to Zhong Bingkun. Zhong Bingkun also knew that Zhong Bingliang had taken over a big business at that time, and he was still the kind that went back and forth, so he was angry, so he had the intention of making money and killing him. This is something he didn't expect before. So every time he told me about it, he was full of remorse. ”

Yan Runsheng: "However, this sword was lost, and those tomb robbers did not come out to look for it." For they had already obtained five hundred taels of gold, and this trip was not a loss. If someone finds out, they have stolen treasures here, and they don't wait for the government to arrest them, but they are afraid that the local people will be able to beat them to death. ”

Yan Runsheng: "Because, the ancestral tomb is very important here, even if it is not my own." If someone's ancestral grave is left untouched, they believe that it may lead to disaster. It is precisely because of this that the emperor did not blatantly inquire about the whereabouts of the sword, only knowing that the sword was robbed by thieves. And the emperor didn't know what the sword looked like, and he couldn't find it. ”

Yan Runsheng: "The Six Princes' Mansion had such a large sum of money at that time, and Empress Meng wanted to ask. The emperor told Empress Meng about the treasure hunt and filial piety to General Meng. As soon as Empress Meng was happy, she immediately went back to her parents' house to report the good news. ”

Yan Runsheng: "Who knows, in the end, General Meng was overjoyed." Even if the emperor later made up the treasure to General Meng, General Meng's heart was naturally unhappy. Therefore, this has become a chasm between the emperor and General Meng. ”

Yan Runsheng: "Later, the former prince was exterminated and the emperor ascended the throne. In order to reduce the power of foreign relatives, whether it is the Zhao family or the Meng family, the emperor has resorted to some means to suppress the Zhao family and the Meng family. ”

Yan Runsheng: "The reason why he asked Zhong Bingkun to design to rob this sword was not only to export evil anger, but also to sow discord. It's just that more than ten innocent lives have been harmed! Ay! ”

In the end, Yan Runsheng sighed heavily.

Zhong Yuqi said: "Empress Meng is the daughter of General Meng, and she was the emperor's wife at that time, so General Meng naturally wants to stand on the side of the emperor. But at that time, why did the emperor send treasures to General Meng? If it is discovered by others, isn't there a suspicion of partisanship? ”

At this time, Xiao Yulin smiled and said, "What kind of partisan dispute is suspected?" Above the court, isn't there a party! Later, the imperial brother also realized the seriousness of the problem, and this gradually balanced the forces in the court. It's just that Huo Benchu's power is too big, and he is scheming, so he can't be cut off for a while. ”

Xiao Yulin: "The former prince was convicted, and it is still unknown who the first emperor appointed as the prince." At this time, those who have military power have the best chance of winning. And about the former crown prince ......"

Xiao Yulin: "Perhaps, General Meng still has concerns. Or, General Meng will not do his best. After all, if the first emperor had not issued an edict appointing the emperor's brother as the crown prince, a mutiny would not have been impossible. ”

Xiao Yulin: "And this is a rebellion, it will go down in history, and General Meng should also worry about this." If General Meng really wants to preserve the prestige of the Meng family and turn against the imperial brother, it is not impossible. Therefore, the imperial brother naturally had to find a way to curry favor with General Meng. ”

Now that Yan Runsheng has guessed his identity, there are some things that Xiao Yulin doesn't have to hide anymore.

Zhong Yuqi said: "But didn't the emperor and General Meng have a dislike because of this? ”

Xiao Yulin said: "Not long after, the first emperor died of illness, and the edict was passed on to the emperor's brother. Even if General Meng has a dislike for the imperial brother, what if he has a dislike? In the end, wasn't he robbed of military power by the emperor's brother? ”

The corners of Zhong Yuqi's mouth hooked, and he said: "Wufu is always inferior to the people who are deep in the city. For example, Prime Minister Huo Cheng. Prime Minister Huo Cheng's two daughters married the former prince and the emperor respectively, and stood neutral, no matter how he said it, he didn't lose anything. ”

Talking about this topic, Xiao Yulin was always a little embarrassed, so he coughed lightly and didn't speak.
