Chapter 119: Stepping Stone
We really flipped through the original drawing of the building, and there was still Zhu Di's imperial pen and Zhu Criticism on it, and when we waited until Yin, we put the gold pen on the noon gate of the original drawing, and the shadow of the golden pen spread all the way and finally stopped at a place in the upper left of the original drawing of the building.
We gathered around to take a closer look at the place indicated by the shadow......
"This is the Yinghua Palace, the place where the harem concubines worship the Buddha, and few people usually go in and out." Nangong Yi pointed to the map and said to us. "Zhu Di also has ulterior motives for arranging the entrance of the treasure here, you must know that no one in the harem is allowed to enter except the emperor, and no one enters or leaves the Yinghua Hall at night, which is also convenient for Zhu Di to enter and exit."
Luohua Creek is in the Yinghua Palace, presumably this is the entrance to the treasure, and we are all ecstatic that we have really cracked the line and found the exact location of the treasure.
"If the entrance to the treasure is really in Luohua Creek, then it will be a big trouble." Nangong Yi suddenly said in an anxious voice.
"What's wrong?" We all turned our heads to look at Nangong Yi and asked in surprise.
"The Forbidden City is now an important historical object, which houses a large number of treasures, and for the sake of safety, an underground treasure house was secretly built in the North Courtyard, and most of the things in the Forbidden City are stored in this underground treasure house." Nangong Yi pointed to the architectural plan and said to us. "This underground treasure house was built with the importance of it, it is impregnable and heavily guarded, no one is allowed to approach it without permission, and there are military and police patrols around it day and night, so it can be said that it is impermeable and impermeable, and we can't get close at all."
After Nangong Yi finished speaking, he drew a circle on the map to mark the location of the underground treasure house, just in the middle of the Yinghua Palace, and if you want to get to Luohua Creek, you must first pass through the impregnable and well-guarded underground treasure house that Nangong Yi said.
"Although the Forbidden City is open to visitors to see, most places are closed because they are closed, and the areas that are not open are exactly where we want to go." Nangong Yi said with an anxious expression as she clasped her hands. "We don't have any reason to go in, let alone probe, and even if we do, all of our every move is monitored at all times, and even a few needles can be found in this area."
"These areas that are not open to the public are exactly the places around the Yinghua Palace, could it be that when the Forbidden City was being repaired, the secret of the treasure below was discovered when the foundation was excavated." Gu Xiaoxiao talked to herself seriously.
"There shouldn't be this possibility, if such a big secret is discovered, it shouldn't be a coincidence, but now the question is how to enter this area." Nangong Yi shook his head and said.
"You can't go in during the day, you have to wait until night to see if you can sneak in." Han Yu said seriously.
"It's even more impossible at night, after all, everything in the Forbidden City is stored here, and at night the guards are even tighter, and there are thermal imaging sensors and infrared trigger alarm devices around." Nangong Yi shook her head sternly and replied. "We probably won't be able to take two steps before we get in, and no one can afford to be charged with entering this area without permission."
"So what should I do, I found the location and couldn't get in." I frowned a little anxiously.
Xiao Lianshan sat on the stone chair unhurriedly and glanced at Gu Anqi, their expressions seemed to be very calm, and there was no panic on their faces at all.
"Dad, do you have a way to get in?" Since Xiao Lianshan can get the wooden box from the Yuan Pavilion unconsciously, maybe he can't do what we can't do.
"Where in my brain could I have thought of such a complicated solution, but your mother should have." Xiao Lianshan said with a faint smile.
"The main reason why this area is isolated is that it contains priceless treasures, and there is no way for you to enter it in the open." Gu Anqi smiled kindly and said casually. "I just need a piece."
"Stepping stones?" I asked with a frown. "What stepping stones?"
"When your father and I were young, we were looking for the 14th Tomb of the Ming Dynasty, and we also found the entrance to the Ci'en Temple in Jingzhao, but that place was a Buddhist place where we couldn't force it in, so we tried to find a way to let the people from the Ci'en Temple invite us in." Gu Anqi said unhurriedly.
"Please go in with Dad...... Mom, what's the method you're using? Gu Xiaoxiao asked curiously.
"We sent something that the Temple of Mercy and Grace couldn't refuse." Xiao Lianshan replied with a smile.
"What's that?"
"The true body relics of the Buddha."
"......" When he heard this, he immediately folded his hands in shock, and suddenly slowly raised his head and suddenly realized. I understand that there are treasures of great value in it, and if we give us something more precious than these treasures, so precious that these people can't refuse us entry, that is our stepping stone. ”
"Send something to the underground treasure house of the Forbidden City...... Han Yu rubbed his forehead and thought for a long time, and said suspiciously. So what do we have to send to get them to agree to let us in? ”
"Although the treasures of the Forbidden City are inherited in an orderly manner, they are invaluable, but I think if you take the Yongle Grand Ceremony to ......" Xiao Lianshan smiled and glanced at Gu Anqi. I believe that no one can refuse you. ”
"Yongle Grand Ceremony!" I looked at Xiao Lianshan and Gu Anqi in surprise. "Dad, are you asking us to give the Yongle Ceremony to the Forbidden City?"
"Dad, the original authenticity of the Yongle Ceremony is not an ordinary thing, whether it is historical value or material value, it is difficult to measure, are you really willing to give the Yongle Ceremony away?" Gu Xiaoxiao was a little surprised.
"What's reluctant, you all said that this thing is important, everyone has always thought that this great ceremony is lost, and it will only be buried in the ground forever if it is placed here for me, and it can be known and studied by more people if it is sent out." Xiao Lianshan smiled disappreciably. "Your mother and I wanted to return it, but we haven't found a suitable reason and opportunity, since you are using it now, I just borrowed flowers to offer Buddha."
I saw that there was not much time left, Xiao Lianshan instructed Zhao Zhi to send someone to put the Yongle Ceremony in the car, and Gu Anqi came forward to donate, and we entered together as accompaniments, and we will see each other after entering.
We rushed back overnight, and arrived at the Forbidden City early in the morning of the first day, Xiao Lianshan contacted Yanan above, and used her identity and status to help us introduce us to the area of the Forbidden City that was not open.
Fang Yanan took us to meet Dong Shuo, the director of the Forbidden City Museum, an old man who was almost sixty or seventy looked high, looking at us impatiently through the glasses on the bridge of his nose, probably because of Fang Yanan's identity.
"This is Director Dong, who is responsible for the restoration and research of the Forbidden City Museum." Fang Yanan introduced to us. "These people have something they want to donate to the Forbidden City Museum, and you are an authority in this regard, so I would like to ask you to identify it."
"There are relevant departments in charge of donations, and I'm too busy to do a lot of appraisals." Dong Shuo pulled up the glasses on the bridge of his nose and said old-fashionedly.
"I know that you don't want to bother you for a long time, and I bother you to always take a look at it, if it's a fake or something, we won't be ashamed." Han Yu could speak, smiling politely while bringing the box to Dong Shuo.
Dong Shuo sighed, he still looked a little impatient, and it was not easy to attack in front of Fang Yanan, he squatted on the ground and opened the wooden box to take a look, and his brows furrowed.
"This yellow brocade is embroidered with dragon patterns, and the style is for the royal family of the Ming Dynasty, and there is no such well-preserved yellow brocade in the Forbidden City...... You guys...... Where did you get this? Dong Shuo's tone was a little soothing and excited.
Dong Shuo was so shocked by a wrapped yellow brocade, we looked at each other and smiled meaningfully, not knowing how he would react when he saw the things wrapped in this yellow brocade.
"You'll show me what's inside." Gu Xiaoxiao said with a smile.
Dong Shuo was a little serious at this time, and after carefully unfolding Huang Jin, when the four words of Yongle Dadian were completely exposed in front of his eyes, Dong Shuo was stunned at first, and the whole person was stunned, and he opened his mouth slightly for a long time without any movement, and then we saw that the corners of his wriggling mouth twitched faster and faster.
Then the whole person sat down on the ground, holding his chest and breathing became difficult, panting and wanting to hold something, but his hands did not have the strength to lift it.
We looked at each other in panic or Gu Anqi reacted, and hurriedly squatted down and took out the medicine from Dong Shuo's body, I looked at the medicine bottle to know that Dong Shuo's heart was not good, presumably it was suddenly stimulated that caused the onset, I hurriedly gave Dong Shuo medicine for a long time before he slowly calmed down.
But Dong Shuo's hand was still trembling and pointed to the wooden box, and said excitedly and excitedly.
"Send ...... Send it to the treasure trove. ”
As Xiao Lianshan said, we were invited in, but I also saw how tightly guarded the isolated area was, if it weren't for Dong Shuo's lead, we would have been unable to move an inch inside.
Dong Shuo took us to the appraisal room, and most of the experts who rushed to hear the news were half-old men, they worshipped the wooden box with almost pious eyes, put on gloves and carefully looked through and consulted the canon, and no one paid attention to half of the sentences when we sat next to us.
It wasn't until after night that Dong Shuo came over tremblingly, squirming his Adam's apple and asked.
"Really...... This is the authentic work of the Yongle Ceremony, I didn't expect the Yongle Ceremony, which had been lost for a few years, to see the light of day, you have merit! In my life, I have been dealing with things, and I have seen countless treasures, but none of them can compare with the Yongle Grand Canon. ”
After Dong Shuo finished speaking, he bowed deeply to all of us, and we immediately stood up and were a little overwhelmed by him.
"You can donate such an important thing, and you can mention it casually."
"Requirements...... There is no requirement, since it is such an important thing, of course, it should be seen and understood by more people. Gu Anqi replied with a smile.
"No requirements?" Dong Shuo looked at us dumbfounded, it is estimated that most of him is thinking that such an important thing is donated without asking for it, either we don't know the importance of the Yongle Ceremony, or the request is not small, and one or two sentences are not clear.
"If it's convenient, can you please take us around the Forbidden City, I have repeatedly liked the royal buildings, the Forbidden City has been here many times, but most places are not open." Gu Anqi asked with a calm smile. "If there is a request, I don't know if this counts?"
"That's it...... It's as simple as that?! Dong Shuo looked at us suspiciously.
"Isn't it inconvenient to visit?" Gu Xiaoxiao asked.
"No, of course not, I'll show you around in person." Dong Shuo seemed to be afraid that we would regret it, so he said with a smile.
