Chapter 63: Intricate
"It's not all."
Seeing that the two of them had straightened out this clue, Xiao Jingning smiled faintly, stepped forward and picked up a roll of bamboo slips, handed it to Xiao Xin, and said, "Your Majesty might as well take a look at this." ”
Xiao Xin took the bamboo slip, and read the content of it a few times, from the initial incomprehension to doubt, and gradually frowned, and then handed the bamboo slip to Xiao Pingzhang.
Xiao Pingzhang has already seen it, and this bamboo slip is a copy of the secrets of the Southern Dynasty. The Southern Dynasty is the imperial court before the Great Liang, and this bamboo slip records the last monarch and national teacher of the Southern Dynasty who wanted to change the law to save the country.
Chu Sui, the last monarch of the Southern Dynasty, was actually not mediocre, on the contrary, he was a rare Ming monarch. However, when the Southern Dynasty was handed over to him, the entire court and even the entire officialdom were already decaying, and there was no way to return to the sky. It is not so much that the Southern Dynasty was overthrown by the Xiao family, but that Chu Sui himself broke his wrist for the sake of all the people in the world, which accelerated the demise of the Southern Dynasty and was nailed to the pillar of shame of the king of the dead country.
Xiao Xin had seen this bamboo slip before, but he knew much more about the secret than the bamboo slip, so he didn't care about it, so even Xiao Xin couldn't tell the origin of this bamboo slip. Now Xiao Jingning has just turned this bamboo slip out of a pile of transcriptions, which shows her keen sense of conspiracy and danger.
Such a secret scroll that seems to be an ordinary transcription is actually conveying the secret words of the previous dynasty, is this the unfinished royal bloodline of the Southern Dynasty deciding to overthrow the Great Liang and restore the country, or is it a person with bad intentions taking the opportunity to make trouble?
Although Chu Sui was the king of the fallen country, the founding emperor of the Great Liang was quite polite to him, and he refused to give him real power, but he gave him more guidance, and after the situation was stable, he disappeared. If it was Chu Sui himself, he should not be obsessed with Funan, but his descendants and the royal bloodline next to him may not.
This is another mystery that must be investigated by good students. It's just that how does the queen judge that this is related to the case of King Laiyang? After the two of them figured it out, Qi Qi turned his gaze to Xiao Jingning.
At this moment, Xiao Jingning was in a trance, as if she had seen her childhood...... When the eldest brother was still there, the seventh brother and Brother Lin Shu would also look at the eldest brother with such eyes when they were puzzled, and she was only two or three years old at that time, and she was held in the arms of the eldest brother of the emperor. She suddenly had palpitations, why...... She was so young at that time, how could she, how could she have memories?
"Queen?"
"The Queen?"
Seeing that Xiao Jingning's expression was wrong, the two gentlemen and ministers called out quite worriedly, Xiao Xin directly grabbed her hand, and the strength was so strong that she grabbed her back, and as soon as she came back to her senses, she fell into Xiao Xin's dark eyes full of worry.
"I'm fine." Xiao Jingning shook his head and smiled: "I just remembered the previous ......"
It is said that it is the most ruthless imperial family, but in fact, it is different...... They used to be really good, very good...... Is it really just because of the fear of the eldest brother and the Red Flame Army, the design of Princess Xuanji and Xia Jiang, or is there any other reason? Like what...... Xiao Jingning looked at the bamboo slip, if they couldn't witness the mediocrity of the Great Liang Emperor, what confidence did they have to talk about the restoration of the country?
"Of course, this is not the only such bamboo slip." Knowing their doubts, Xiao Jingning explained lightly: "With the color of the bamboo slips and the ink color and handwriting on them, it is possible to judge the approximate period of the production. There are not many in the harem, and there should be a lot of them in the previous dynasty. ”
Unexpectedly, Xiao Jingning can even be proficient in this, although the monarch and the minister are very human, and they are also involved in this way, they can judge the year by the color of the bamboo slips, but they can't judge the specific by the ink color and handwriting.
"Moreover," Xiao Jingning picked out another excerpt and handed it to Xiao Xin, saying, "This bamboo slip is not alone, and there is also a response here." ”
Sure enough, the excerpt seemed to be telling Xun Ruolan about the local style, but if you compare the content on the bamboo slip with it, you can find clues, although they don't know what they communicated, but they did use the same code language on it.
Therefore, among the people who can contact Xun Ruolan's general affairs excerpts, there are the remnants of the Southern Dynasty, and they are communicating in code. The hearts of the two monarchs and ministers sank at the same time, they never expected that the re-investigation of the previous case would be so complicated, not only the East China Sea, but also the Southern Dynasties.
However, this is not just the end, Xiao Jingning pushed two letters and a few pieces of cloth, folds, and posts to Xiao Xin and Xiao Pingzhang, and said: "Look at these again, I don't know which force this belongs to, but I can confirm that this undercurrent in the court and China at that time was not small, but after the death of King Laiyang, this force suddenly hibernated." This force does not belong to the East China Sea and the Southern Dynasties, it seems to be the handiwork of our Great Liang, but I can't find out what they belong to, this can only be checked by you. ”
Then she pointed to the rest of the things and said: "These are the handiwork of the other countries, Northern Chongqing, Southern Chu, and Northern Yan...... There are all kinds of countries, and the beams at that time were indeed full of loopholes, and these black hands were sticking in right under your noses. Even the harem is like this, let alone the previous dynasty? Although these forces have not yet appeared, it does not mean that they have withdrawn, but it is more likely that they are dormant. Your Majesty and the Prince will have to be busy next. ”
Speaking of this, Xiao Jingning actually showed a smile in his eyes, properly gloating, and quite a kind of ridiculous attitude that hurt his friendliness.
Xiao Xin: "......"
Xiao Pingzhang: "......"
They only now found out that the queen mother is actually a bit skinny.
No, he should have found out a long time ago!
Xiao Pingzhang suddenly remembered that when he was in the prison of the Criminal Department, Xiao Jingning deliberately led Pu Yangying's train of thought to run blindly, of course, it was to hit his heart, but he didn't have the intention of having fun......
The two monarchs and ministers glanced at each other, and at the same time they were a little congested and funny, this queen......
"Ahem......" Xiao Xin coughed dryly to stop the sound that was about to laugh, and said seriously: "We have to investigate carefully, no matter which forces these are, we must not let them act arbitrarily under our noses." ”
Xiao Pingzhang said: "The minister will do his best. ”
Next, Xiao Xin asked Gao Qin to routinely move some cases in the DPRK and China, and even some of the previous folds, and let Xiao Jingning help to see it, and the two of them were quite impressed by her ability to classify them.
They really found a lot of content related to all aspects that Xiao Jingning just took, and it seems that there is no connection when you look at it alone, and you can get a lot of information when you put it together, and this is only a small part, the pressure is overwhelming, and this situation is very tricky. After all, if they suddenly found out all the documents and checked them, it would inevitably startle the snake, and it would be even more difficult to cut them out. Or Xiao Pingzhang proposed to teach the prince to study political affairs every two days, and bring all kinds of excerpts to the Yangju Palace to look at them.
Xiao Jingning, who had been helping to be busy, suddenly remembered something, and asked Xiao Pingzhang: "When the prince was young, did Jian'an Hou enlighten you with nine chapters of arithmetic?" ”
