Chapter 33 Under the Dust of History
The history of Li Zicheng's rebellion can be described as extremely bumpy.
Li Zicheng was originally just a post soldier, and later the imperial court cut the post station, Li Zicheng also became a member of the unemployed army, and later for various reasons, participated in the peasant uprising, was strangled by the imperial army several times, embarrassed, until it coincided with the uprising of his uncle Gao Yingxiang, he decisively defected to the past, and really got reused, and also broke out of a famous hall, calling himself a "general." ”
After breaking into a little fame, the old clansmen of Majiatun came to the door and told Li Zicheng that there was a secret about Longxing in the Western Xia Dynasty in Majiatun. They are willing to come up with this secret and assist Li Zicheng in rebuilding the Li dynasty.
Li Zicheng was an ordinary peasant at that time, although he was a leader, but his vision was not high, plus the other party took out a family tree and a pair with him, sure enough, his ancestor was Li Jiqian, and even he was a descendant of Li Yuanhao, the founding emperor of Western Xia, his ambition suddenly swelled, and he was also convinced of the clansmen of Majiatun. vigorously recruited the people of Majiatun, and at the same time began to work on the secret of Longxing that the people of Majiatun said.
I don't know if it's the bad luck of the Majiatun people, or Li Zicheng's own life is too bad, although the Ming Dynasty's qi has been exhausted, but the afterglow of the return is still amazing, there are many famous generals, Li Zicheng's rebel army has been defeated several times, and at the worst time, there are only a dozen people left around Li Zicheng in the end, and the clansmen who came over with Majiatun are even more out of ten.
But the last time the people were scattered, Li Zicheng led the last dozen generals, hid in the mountains, during this period of time, he looked for the secret of Longxing that the clansmen said, after a winter of hard trekking, Li Zicheng finally had something, this time out of the mountain, Li Zicheng successfully recruited hundreds of thousands of displaced people, broke through Sun Chuanting's department, and then traveled in all directions, and finally came to the capital, forcing Emperor Chongzhen to die. The Ming Dynasty fell.
And then the good times didn't last long. It is said that during a banquet not long after entering the capital, Li Zicheng got carried away and told his subordinates that the reason why he was able to turn defeat into victory from death was because he got a secret of Longxing, holding an artifact in his hand, he was naturally invincible, and his destiny returned.
However, that night, his so-called artifact was stolen by someone with a heart and never been traced. Then the Qing army entered the customs, Li Zicheng was defeated and died, and Shenzhou Lu sank.
The rest of the story has long been recorded in the history books. Professor Qi didn't say much to Li You, but the topic changed and mentioned the artifact that Ma Jiatun said.
The person who stole Li Zicheng's reliance on the artifact was actually a person from this mysterious organization. They were very cautious, and in order not to let people discover their secrets, they secretly killed Majiatun and killed Li Chuang's clan in Majiatun. However, the artifact they obtained was actually only a part of it, and if they really wanted to use the artifact's effect, they had to collect all the parts.
But with the artifact in hand, it will inevitably be remembered by those who have a heart. And if you want to collect all the artifact parts, you can't get them overnight, and it may take generations. In order to protect this artifact from falling into the hands of others. The people in the organization came up with a way to hide the artifact in an ancient tomb.
This ancient tomb is the tomb of the dragon of the Nine Phoenix Dynasty.
The Dragon Tomb of the Nine Phoenix Dynasty has a lot of origin. It is said to be the place where the tombs of the Western Zhou royal family are located. And it's guarded by a tomb guard. Since the establishment of the Zhou Dynasty, I don't know how many years it has been guarded. Only the tomb guards know how to open this ancient tomb.
However, at that time, the leader of the organization was also very powerful, and he summoned the top powerhouses under the door, trying to use all kinds of methods, roosters and dog thieves, to quietly open the tomb of the Nine Phoenix Dynasty Dragon, secretly put the artifact into it, and let the tomb guards help guard it.
The plan is good, but the execution is not so good. The result of the matter is that although the top masters in the organization quietly entered the tomb of the Nine Phoenix Dynasty Dragon, they did not understand in advance that there were many strange mechanisms in the ancient tomb, which needed tomb guards to suppress them, and the team was almost wiped out, and only a tomb robber and leader surnamed Mo escaped at that time.
Hearing this, Li You compared the information he had heard from Uncle Wu before, and judged that this tomb robber surnamed Mo was the ancestor of Mo Liancheng. However, the content of what Professor Qi and Uncle Wu said was not quite the same. Of course, Li You was inclined to what Professor Qi said.
After the tomb robbers escaped, they went into hiding, and the leader of the organization sent people to fight with the tomb guards, taking away many tomb guards and their descendants, and placing them in Majiatun. And the person surnamed Li in Majiatun turned out to be the guards guarding these tomb guards.
Soon, with the death of the seriously injured leader, the secret of the Dragon Tomb of the Nine Phoenix Dynasty also became mysterious with his death. They only knew that there was an artifact inside, but they didn't know that this artifact was actually placed there by their ancestors. And as the top talents in the organization were almost exhausted, the organization also fell into a long period of weakness, and the organization, which was not very tight, became even more fragmented, almost becoming history, and was not reintegrated by Lu Zhongyan until later. Lu Zhongyan also integrated the closest answer to the truth from the content left by his ancestors, but he disappeared again......
Professor Qi chattered, not very loud, but definitely not small. Not only did Li You listen carefully, but even Linglong, Uncle Wu and others pricked up their ears and listened carefully to Professor Qi's story about this unknown past.
"Professor Qi, how do you know these things?" Li You was puzzled.
"Hehe......" Professor Qi smiled and said, "Do you really think that I have been wandering the rivers and lakes for so many years, and I can't find out a little?" ”
"......" Li You was silent, Professor Qi's explanation would not be accepted by fools. I'm afraid that few people in the organization know such a secret, how can he inquire about the secret hundreds of years ago?
"Ahem, actually." Professor Qi seemed to notice that he was really not distracted by such perfunctory, so he said: "My ancestor left a notebook, which is a master's study of some records of the exiles in the late Ming Dynasty. This master knows a lot of strange people, including the descendants of the tomb robber master, a very famous tomb robber in the Republic of China, this person's surname is Mo, and his name is black. This person likes to steal three generations of ancient tombs the most, except for the gold, silver and bronze objects that he sold himself, the oracle bone inscriptions are all given to the master for study. In an unintentional casual conversation, this person told the master what happened to his ancestors as a story. As a result, the master solemnly recorded it and left it, and finally it fell into my hands. ”
Li You nodded at this time, this explanation was barely acceptable. So he asked, "That master is Wang Guowei?" ”
"Ahem......" As soon as Li You asked, Professor Qi immediately coughed, his face changed slightly, he stared at Li You, and asked, "How do you know?" ”
Li You shrugged his shoulders, pointed at Uncle Wu, and asked, "Professor Qi, do you know why Mr. Wang Guowei committed suicide?" ”
Professor Qi was a little annoyed and angry, and said, "How could I know such a thing! I want to know if I go down and ask him to go to the old man! ”
Li You stopped talking.
