Chapter 686: Hiding Your Identity
Judging from the appearance of these two letters, it has probably been let the steward know that this is a letter left by the old emperor to Wei Jin.
But in this regard, Wei Jin did not show a particularly strong interest.
He just glanced at him in surprise, and then sat back on the dragon chair, holding his face with one hand, while looking at him comfortably: "I don't want to hear anything about the old emperor now, after all, he is still lying there, and it is not interesting for me to read the letter he left behind." ”
Hearing this, he was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously glanced at the corpse of the old emperor lying on the floor over there.
Also, Wei Jin has succeeded in forcing the palace now, and he will be able to directly ascend the throne as the king tomorrow, and the military strength of the DPRK and China has also been advanced in his hands, so there is really no need to read these two letters.
However, the steward still handed the two letters in front of him, and said respectfully: "Your Majesty, you better take a look, the servant thinks that he will not leave two letters to you for no reason, maybe there are also his secrets hidden in them, and they are related to you." ”
Wei Jin glanced at him lightly, and the hand that was originally stroking the jade seal stopped.
Seeing this, without waiting for Wei Jin to speak, he and the steward respectfully presented the letter.
Two letters, one was left to the empress by the old emperor, and one was left to Wei Jin.
I read the queen's letter first, and it simply wrote the old emperor's thoughts about the queen, as well as repentance.
It seems that he wrote it after the Empress was executed by him.
However, a closer look at the words reveals that the letter was actually written by the old emperor before the empress's death.
Although the old emperor did love the empress very much back then, he seemed to have anticipated the fate of the empress, so he prepared such a letter in advance.
In addition, the letter he left for Wei Jin was blank, and nothing was written at all.
Could it be that the old emperor was speechless to him, so he didn't write anything?
In an instant, this thought popped into Wei Jin's mind, but he immediately glanced at the old emperor and knew that this person was not so boring.
However, I don't know what he thought of immediately, with a hint of playfulness in his eyes, he picked up the tea on the table, and suddenly poured it on the letter.
The tea soaked the white letter at once, and the steward was stunned for a moment, as if he didn't understand what was going on, but when the tea was poured down, the wine on the white letter changed a little.
I saw that a little pattern began to appear on the white letter, and gradually, black and white letters appeared in front of the two.
However, he just stood aside respectfully, and did not dare to step forward to look more.
And Wei Jin put the tea back, and just lowered his eyes and browsed it roughly, I don't know what he saw on the letter, and his face quickly froze.
But in the next second, he cut the wet letter in half and threw them into the lantern next to him with a wave of his hand.
The tongue of fire in the lantern swallowed the things up in an instant, but soon, the light returned to normal.
And Wei Jin just glanced at the old emperor lightly, and said to the steward: "Pull down the body of Wang Guifei and feed it to the dogs, and bury the old emperor and the queen in the imperial mausoleum." ”
Hearing this, he couldn't help but be a little puzzled, Wei Jin didn't have much affection for the old emperor at all, and it could even be said that he hated, but why, after reading the letter, Wei Jin suddenly changed his mind?
"Yes, Your Majesty, the minions will go down and prepare."
Although he was curious, on the surface, he didn't dare to really ask.
But before he could turn around and go down, he saw Wei Jin get up from the dragon chair and walk towards the bed over there.
The dragon bed in Qiankun Palace is just a little bigger and more exquisite.
But after Wang Guifei took charge of the harem, as soon as the old emperor fell ill, few people would come to clean the Qiankun Palace, so as soon as he squatted down, Wei Jin was stained with dust under the bed.
But he reached inside and touched the foot of one of the beds, and then took his hand out, but it was extremely clean, and there was no dust at all.
Suddenly, Wei Jin raised his eyebrows, and then pressed the mechanism at the foot of the bed without hesitation.
Bang......
Suddenly, a sound sounded from five paces away from him, and a secret door opened to the two of them.
The tunnel was hidden under the tiles, but there were some footprints in it, and the footprints were very new, as if someone had already entered it in advance.
Seeing this, Wei Jin couldn't help sighing, stood up from the ground faintly, and instructed the steward: "It seems that the things in here have been taken away, you go to the prince's mansion to search again, and find all the places in the prince's mansion where you can hide things, so the holy decree, all for me." ”
He steward was stunned for a moment, and didn't understand why Wei Jin suddenly gave such an order, so he couldn't help but ask cautiously: "Your Highness, but what happened?" Why does this Qiankun Palace have such a secret passage? ”
Generally, most people will only install secret rooms in their rooms or palaces, and there are few places where there are secret passages.
Even if there is, ordinary people will not know, and this is still the Qiankun Palace where the old emperor lives, and looking at this posture, this secret path seems to be some years old.
Wei Jin didn't hide it and manage things, and even if he didn't say it, he could vaguely guess that this was probably related to the letter that Wei Jin read just now.
Sure enough, he didn't wait long with the steward, and heard Wei Jin say lightly: "The letter left by the old emperor to me really hides some secrets, but do you already know that Yu Chi and I are actually brothers, and Wei Chi is still my brother?" ”
But speaking of this, Wei Jin shook his head self-deprecatingly, with a sneering smile on his face: "I have always been the player who controls everything in my hands, but I didn't expect that this old emperor has been planning everything since twenty years ago, you are not the person left by the queen to me, on the contrary, you are the eyeliner left by the old emperor by my side, right, Prime Minister Feng?" ”
Prime Minister Feng, the head of the cabinet ministers who assisted the old emperor twenty years ago, has a reputation for being unobtrusive, and he is also very prestigious in the Jin Kingdom, and has done a lot of things for the old emperor to benefit the country and the people.
But in a sudden fire, he died in the fire, and since then, Prime Minister Feng disappeared and disappeared from the Jin dynasty.
If it weren't for the letter left by the old emperor to himself, Wei Jin probably wouldn't know the true identity of the manager in his life.
Although he was suspicious, he never doubted and stewardship.
But he still made a mistake, since the steward was a person sent by the old emperor to his side in the name of the empress, he nominally took care of him, but behind his back, he secretly monitored Wei Jin.
Over the years, the old emperor actually knew what Wei Jin had done.
He was stiff with the steward, and the look of surprise in his eyes was evident, but he quickly reacted, afraid that this matter would not be related to the two letters from Fang Cai.
He shook his head and looked at Wei Jin with some complexity: "I didn't expect to be known to you, Your Highness." ”
