Chapter 92: The Old Story of Cui Mansion (Part II)
At that time, Han Che was only thirteen years old, and his favorite thing to do every day was to go to Cui's Mansion and have a glass of wine with Cui Yuan.
After a long time, everyone in the Cui Mansion knew about his existence, and they were not surprised by his arrival.
Until one day, an incident appeared, which made the entire Cui Mansion undergo earth-shaking changes, Cui Yuan died, Mrs. Cui died prematurely, Cui Gong dispersed the house slaves, and overnight, Cui Mansion declined.
"Have you ever heard of the Mountains and Rivers?" Ye Lou asked suddenly.
"Mountains and rivers?"
Legend has it that the mountains and rivers were built in Pangu when the world was opened, the structure of the map, the way of painting is natural, and the folk are spreading such a story - the mountains and rivers are full of divine power, who has it, who can keep the rivers and mountains forever, and can also summon many divine beasts for deployment. It's a pity that it has been lost for many years, and most people only regard it as a mythical story, but Han Che heard about the mountains and rivers hidden in Cui's mansion during a night conversation with Cui Yuan. ”
Although it was just Cui Yuan's unintentional words, Han Che took it seriously and kept it in his mind from then on. On the day of Cui Yuan's death, Han Che visited Cui's mansion, and in the study, he forced Cui Yuan to take out the mountain and river map, half persuasively and half coercion. But Cui Yuan refused to agree. ”
"At that time, the DPRK and China were at a sensitive time. The emperor's first son was born, and all the ministers recommended the holy prince to be established. But at that time, the crown prince was only three years old and still a child, and the emperor was not in a hurry. Han Che felt unprecedented pressure. ”
Hearing this, Jiang Jingshu sighed: "I can't see that Han Che was so ruthless when he was young. It's just that he has always shown people in the form of idle clouds and wild cranes, why is he obsessed with that mountain and river map? ”
"There's a contradiction here, don't you understand?" Ye Lou glanced at her meaningfully.
"Mountains and rivers are rare treasures for thousands of years, and its value is very high from the perspective of history, culture, politics and customs.
"I guess that at that time, Han Che probably wanted to come to the landscape map to give it to the Holy Lord and please him. didn't think about it, that Cui Yuan was very stubborn and refused to give up the mountains and rivers map, Han Che was angry, had a dispute, and killed him. ”
After a pause, he added: "As for whether it is intentional or not, it doesn't matter anymore. If he had repented, he would never have done what he had done. ”
Cui Yuan died, and Han Che searched the study to no avail, so he had to leave first and then make plans. At night, the maid in charge of cleaning pushed open the door of the study, and was frightened by Cui Yuan's corpse, and the screams attracted Cui Gong and Mrs. Cui, who was eight months pregnant, saw this scene and fainted.
After going back, Han Che thought about it carefully and decided to enter the palace to show the saint: Cui's private collection of mountains and rivers maps. The Holy Lord agreed to his request to lead troops to search.
As soon as the poor Miss Cui family was born, and Mrs. Cui's bones were not cold, Han Che brought people to the door every now and then to disturb her, using both soft and hard methods, trying to get Cui Gong to agree to cooperate with him. At that time, the Cui family slaves were exhausted, and only one nurse stayed, thanks to the careful care of the nurse, the Miss Cui family did not resist freezing and starvation.
"It's also strange to say, Han Che led the troops to turn Cui's mansion upside down, but he never found the map of mountains and rivers."
"Why do you think Han Che went to Cui's Mansion so diligently, it's just that he accidentally heard that there is a map of mountains and rivers hidden in Cui's mansion."
Jiang Jingshu lowered her head and was silent.
Han Che is hateful, but the emperor also has his own selfish intentions, in order to satisfy his own selfish desires, he let others lead him by the nose and hurt so many people in Cui Mansion, can he be regarded as innocent?
It stands to reason that Han Che searched through Cui's mansion and still still didn't find a map of mountains and rivers, perhaps, the sentence of the day "My father has a map of mountains and rivers." "It's really just Cui Yuan's unintentional words after he gets drunk. But for so many years, Han Che still refused to let go of Cui's house, for the sake of selfish desires, he used the events of the year as an excuse to use the people in Cui's mansion for his own use, and the Cui family's father and daughter were miserable. ”
Hearing this, Jiang Jingshu suddenly thought of something and asked, "Hu Yan is also ......"
"It's Cui Fuzhong, the only daughter of the nurse."
Jiang Jingshu listened quietly, her fists clenched unconsciously.
