Chapter 8 Rubbing
Following. When.
Wei Wei and Emperor Hui had a good breakfast together, and then pulled Emperor Hui out of the courtyard of the palace, she revisited the old place, and wanted to see more.
The world is vast in this valley, the mountains are green, the vegetation is forested, there are many kinds of birds and beasts in the depths of the green shade, the stream here is clear and sweet, the fish and shrimp are fat, and the people are inaccessible, it is really a good place to go to the seclusion without contention with the world.
"Brother Jing, how long are we going to stay here?" Wei Wei remembered that Xie Jing had said that Hui Di Nan had been assassinated not long after he toured the palace, and she wanted to buy some time to stop this from happening.
She recalled that in her previous life, Emperor Hui had stayed here for more than a month, and every day he took General Miao and them to hunt in the mountains and forests, sometimes for half a day, sometimes for a day. Once, she overheard Emperor Hui talking to General Miao in the study, saying that there was no emperor among the remains of the soldiers and horses excavated in the valley, and further investigation was needed······ At that time, I was suspicious, six years ago, the former emperor Yingzong personally led the army to conquer the battle of Wara suffered a heavy blow, less than half a month after returning to the palace, it was convenient for the Qianqing Palace to pass away, and was buried in the eastern suburbs of the imperial mausoleum. Wasn't it Yingzong's bones that were in the coffin of the imperial tomb at that time?
Afterwards, I also asked Emperor Hui about this matter, and Emperor Hui replied at the time that he had heard it wrong, she was virtuous and virtuous as a concubine in her previous life, and she obeyed all the palace rules and etiquette in the palace, and knew that the harem concubines should not interfere in the government affairs, since the emperor didn't want you to know, it was best not to ask.
But this time, Vivi didn't think so.
"Cai Wei is homesick?" Emperor Hui asked with a smile, "If you ask like this, do the math, it's been almost half a year since you left the palace on this southern tour!" It's almost time to go back. ”
"Cai Wei is the same everywhere, as long as Brother Jing is there."
"Don't worry, I'll never leave you!"
Wei Wei thought to herself, yes, even if Guo Caiwei has been dead for five hundred years, you can get it back. Brother Jing, in this life, let me protect you!
Then it is necessary to find out who is behind the assassination of Emperor Hui, who is the biggest beneficiary behind this matter, and who may be the murderer.
According to historical records, Emperor Hui reigned for 20 years, and he liked opera and singing all his life, and he mingled with a group of servants all day long, ignoring the government and politics, resulting in Queen Liu monopolizing power, and nearly half of the officials in the court were replaced by Queen Liu's maiden cronies. It's a pity that Empress Liu and a group of concubines failed to give birth to a son and a half daughter for the emperor, and the Liu family was arrogant and domineering for a long time, and was finally hated by others, and was expelled by the ministers.
Emperor Hui was forced to abdicate and died in Ningshou Palace three months later.
It seems that this Empress Liu and Prince Su are not good things! And that fake Emperor Hui is a key!
"What are you thinking?" Hui Di saw that Weiwei was distracted.
"Brother Jing, you told Cai Wei truthfully, this southern tour is really just to investigate the people's situation all the way?" Weiwei thinks that in this life, she must figure out the beginning and end of everything, so as to better control the development trend of everything in the future.
"Naturally, it's also to accompany Sister Caiwei, you grew up in the deep palace compound since you were a child, how do you know how different the outside world is."
"Brother Jing, I see that you seem to be looking for something with General Na Miao along the way, and it is in this Yunyang Mountain, is it about the ······ of the former emperor?" Wei Wei didn't want to go around the bush anymore, so she asked directly.
"Shhh
Wei Wei pretended to be displeased, pouted, "Brother Jing--- that day, I heard it", pulling Emperor Hui's long sleeves and coquettishly.
"You really want to know?"
"Mmmmmmmm
Emperor Hui sent the palace people who followed behind him, and the two walked to the shade of a tree near the river, picked a clean stone and sat down.
"General Miao took the escort to check again this morning," Emperor Hui looked at the sparkling water in front of him, and his eyes, which were still laughing just now, suddenly became depressed.
"It's really the Emperor!
"Yes, my father and the Emperor have led the guards to this place," said Emperor Hui, "and when the Queen Mother was leaving, she gave me a hand-drawn map of rubbing, on which was the last place my father visited before returning to the palace, which was here. ”
"The people in the imperial tomb are not the emperor, and only the living grandfather and mother knew about it. At that time, all the guards who escorted the injured emperor back to the palace were secretly executed by the emperor's grandfather, leaving no one alive, and then lied to the outside world that Yingzong was severely injured and died, but the queen mother said that the person lying in the coffin was not his father, and the real father was not dead. Why did the imperial grandfather do this? ”
"This secret was brought into the imperial tomb by the imperial grandfather. No one knows where his father is now. ”
"The queen mother entrusts me to bring my father back, no matter whether he lives or dies."
Wei Wei gently held Emperor Hui's hand and persuaded softly: "It turns out that there is such a thing, Brother Jing, don't worry, I will accompany you to fulfill Concubine Qi's last wish, find your father, and let Concubine Quanxia feel relieved." ”
"I want to know the purpose of my father's visit here, maybe I can solve the mystery of the past."
"This Yunyang Mountain area is under the jurisdiction of our dynasty, thousands of kilometers away from the border pass, it is impossible for foreign enemies to invade, and there has been no war in the past hundred years, so the appearance of the emperor with the escort army here should not be a battle, there should be other reasons."
"Cai Wei, you're right," Emperor Hui replied, "General Miao has found some clues in the valley, what does my father seem to be digging for?" ”
"What?"
"Dragon's Vein."
"Dragon vein?"
"General Miao invited a famous feng shui master in the south of the Yangtze River to survey the terrain in the valley, and it is indeed a coiled dragon and a crouching tiger, with Tibetan wind and water, and there are high mountains in front and flowing water in the back. I guess my father should have invited a master to point points in this dragon vein, so as to absorb the essence energy of the dragon vein, so as to ensure that my dynasty will continue for thousands of generations. ”
"Then why did so many guards die?"
"The feng shui master saw that the dragon veins should have accumulated dangerous energy, and they were rashly excavated without resolving it, causing a disaster."
"So, the first emperor's injury may be due to the evil qi of the dragon veins here?"
"At that time, all the guards who returned to Beijing alive were killed by the emperor's grandfather, and the truth is unknown. It's a little strange, what did the emperor's grandfather want to cover up back then, and he didn't even care about his father? ”
If a person wants to cover up something, the more he will divert the attention of others through some other more strange actions, "Brother Jing, we can find out what your imperial grandfather did back then, and maybe we can find some hints!" ”
"Cai Wei's proposal is good! You can try. ”
"Can I see the rubbings that Concubine Qi left for you?"
"Yes." After coming to Yunyang Mountain, Emperor Hui has been carrying a rubbing map with him, and there are many marks on the map that are really incomprehensible.
Hui Di took out a piece of frosted lambskin the size of a sweat towel from his wide sleeves, which was flesh-colored and black, and the leather surface was slightly shiny.
Wei Wei opened it and saw that the sheepskin was painted with mountains, rivers, and green forests based on mountains and rivers, and the Yunyang Mountain Range had many branches, but they could be marked one by one, fine and detailed. Actually, Wei Wei didn't quite understand it. I looked at it a few times, anyway, it was a map, and there was no annotation of a word, and it was not easy for Emperor Hui to correspond to the Yunyang Mountain Range.
But the leather of this rubbing feels really good, soft and glutinous, Wei Wei pinched it in her hand, and when she handed it to Emperor Hui, she accidentally slipped her hand and fell into the stream under her feet, and she exclaimed and quickly took it out of the water, "Fortunately, it's sheepskin, otherwise I'll be in trouble." ”
Emperor Hui stretched out his hand to take it, "It's okay, I already remember this picture, and I can copy it exactly the same with memory," he said, holding up the sheepskin diagram and shaking the water droplets, Emperor Hui let out a surprised voice. Vivi took a closer look, and the place where the sheepskin had passed through the water had become transparent, and some golden fonts faintly appeared in the light.
The two looked at each other, but they really didn't know those fonts, not Chinese characters. Reading these golden fonts may solve some of the mysteries.
Hui Di carefully put away the rubbing.
The two returned to the palace residence, and Emperor Hui hurriedly instructed Gonggong Li to invite Xie Jing to come.
After a moment's effort, Xie Jing brought.
Wei Wei took it for granted that it was still the old man, but it was an elegant scholar with a white face and a long beard who didn't want to walk in to salute, and he couldn't be more than thirty years old.
"Wechen see the emperor, long live long live long live! See the concubine, Chitose Chitose Chitose! ”
"Flatten! Xie Aiqing, I have passed on that you have something to ask you to help refer to. ”
"Yes."
Wei Wei wet the sheepskin with water according to the method just now, and then put it under the light to take care of it, and sure enough, the parchment appeared in dense golden fonts again.
Xie Jing took out a pair of copper-rimmed glasses from his sleeve and looked closer to the picture. He nodded as he watched, then shook his head again.
"See what's coming?" Emperor Hui said urgently.
"Your Majesty, if the minister is not mistaken, these should be Sanskrit."
"Sanskrit? Why doesn't it look like it? ”
"Your Majesty, it's Sanskrit, it's just ancient Sanskrit, and Wechen was fortunate enough to get acquainted with a monk from Tianzhu, and the scriptures he brought were exactly this kind of font."
