Chapter 68: Who is the First Emperor?

Although the Danshu iron coupon is unusual, Su Qiang also knows it.

In order to reward the courtiers who have made extraordinary achievements, the emperor gives Danshu iron coupons to take refuge, so that the courtiers can enjoy preferential treatment or as a certificate of exoneration for one time. In order to win trust and prevent counterfeiting, this kind of Danshu written on an iron plate was cut open in the middle, and half of the court and courtiers were kept.

She grew up in the Guogong Mansion since she was a child, and was raised by the Fuguo Mansion himself, but she really has never seen or heard of this thing in the Fuguo Mansion.

As for the talismans, it is even more impossible to talk about.

The talisman that was poured on the iron coupon of the Danshu sounded even more incredible.

Seeing the shocked and puzzled look on Su Qiang's face, Li Cong patted the table and motioned for her to sit aside and talk in detail.

The secrets of his family had to be heard from others, and Su Qiang felt a strange trance.

She walked over quickly and sat down, looking at Li Cong's gradually solemn expression, feeling that no matter what she heard from his mouth, she didn't seem to lie to her this time.

"It's from the time of the first emperor." Li Cong looked at Su Qiang's nervous expression that he couldn't hide, and said slowly: "When the first emperor was here, he and the father of the auxiliary prince Cui Xu, the previous generation of the auxiliary prince Cui Ze, were brothers who lived and died together. At that time, they were born and died together, treated each other with sincerity, solved the crisis of the Yellow River bursting the embankment together, pacified the rebellion in Yecheng in the Central Plains together, went north together to destroy the thieves, and crossed east to conquer Yingdao. The first emperor gave the Danshu iron coupon for the grace of the king. This is a secret that only a few people know. ”

Su Qiang nodded, Cui Ze was her grandfather, and she was also under the knees of her grandfather when she was a child. She knows the great achievements of her ancestors, but since it is the emperor who shows the grace of the king, why should she reward it privately.

Li Cong looked at Su Qiang's expression, "You must be very strange, why does this reward of Danshu Iron Coupon seem to be sneaky, and why is there any need to sneak." At first, I thought the same thing when I knew it, but then I learned about the talisman, and I realized that it was not easy. ”

"It's not easy." Su Qiang asked.

Li Cong's body leaned forward, and the joints of the hand holding the jade pendant turned white, obviously the injury in his back was terrible. He settled down and continued: "The first emperor couldn't meet a beautiful woman when he was young, and he married a wife very late. Although the former queen, that is, the current queen mother, is also regarded as Qin Se and Ming, but she has little interest in the matter of concubines and concubines, and there are not many heirs. After the plague in the adult era, there was only one prince left, who is now the father of the emperor. Because there is only one prince, the crown prince is indisputable. At that time, the first emperor sighed in front of the first auxiliary prince, saying that this prince was not in his liking, but he was helpless. These words were even recorded in the "Notes on the Beginning of the Heisei Residence", which was hidden in the Imperial Library. ”

Su Qiang stood up and poured Li Cong a cup of hot tea. Li Cong raised his hand to take it, holding the teacup in his hand, as if he had gained some strength from the hot cup, coughed a few times, and continued: "When the time limit of the first emperor is approaching, seeing the prince's various actions, I am even more uneasy. He poured the talisman of the royal family ordering the three armies on the iron coupon of the Danshu that had been awarded to Cui Ze before. In addition, he personally wrote the four-character holy decree of "If I am coming" and handed it to Cui Ze. What he meant was that if the court was in turmoil after the crown prince ascended the throne, the Fuguo Mansion could command the three armies to stabilize the situation. To avoid speculation among the subjects, this matter was also done in secret. ”

I see.

"In that case, they should be afraid of the Fuguo Mansion, how can they ......?"

"What the emperor is afraid of, naturally cannot exist." Li Cong pursed his lips and said.

The air in the hall was thin and cold, trapping Su Qiang's expression.
