The preface says that Murong followed the doorman into the Li Mansion.

The doorman took Murong to turn left and right in the house, walked through the compound, and entered the back door. After passing through a long corridor, I still saw this doorman walking straight.

Murong was very suspicious in his heart: "How could Li Ge live in such a remote place!" ”

But the doorman did not speak, but walked with his head bowed. Murong Hu should not know if he was afraid of himself or for some other reason.

After passing through a deep path, I was greeted by a house. The doorman stood at the door and said to Murong, "Please! Waiting for you! ”

Murong glanced at the doorman, he was less afraid when he first saw him, but he was a little more calm at this time.

When Murong opened the door, he felt a faint scent of ink rushing to his nose. Then I saw that the room was empty, and there was nothing to be seen.

Murong didn't see Li Xian, so he had to say politely first: "The lowly Jinyi Wei knows that Murong Wuji wants to see Li Ge Lao!" ”

After Murong finished speaking, he heard his own voice hit the wall and bounced back. At this time, when I turned around, I saw that the door was closed tightly, and the doorman was nowhere to be found.

Murong walked towards the house again, and saw that on the wall of the inner room was a black plum painted in thick ink, which was exactly the same as the black plum on Duofu and the palace servants. The scent of ink that I smelled when I entered was this ink plum, and the ink plum on this wall had just been painted.

Murong was staring at Mo Mei in a daze, who knew that suddenly his eyes flickered, and he felt that something was tied in his throat, and he struggled hard, and saw that there was a rope around his neck.

This rope is the thickness of an arm's arm. Suddenly, the rope suddenly exerted force, Murong couldn't support it, and was carried by that force and fell to the ground.

Murong was lying on the ground and being dragged by that force, and he felt that it was difficult to breathe and resist. He looked up sharply, and saw that there was a strong man in the room pulling the rope hard.

Murong was unable to exert any strength at all, and he was even more defenseless. He couldn't imagine why Li Xian had no grievances with him, why he was so ruthless.

Isn't it that Jin Yiwei and Li Xian have a holiday? Otherwise, those who dare to exist for the festival will die long ago, and those who are exiled will have their lives?

At this critical juncture, where can Murong think about it. He only felt that he was being dragged around by that man, and he only felt that his life was on the line.

Suddenly, the door opened, and I saw a white-haired Shengxue, an old man in filial piety clothes standing in front of the door and shouting angrily: "Stop! ”

The man was also obedient, and took back the strength he was about to send out. Murong was able to save his life. The man was also kind enough to help Murong up, and Murong squinted his eyes and didn't say anything more.

I saw the old man say to Murong: "Please take a break and go to the main hall to talk." After speaking, he walked out of the door, "Tong'er, you come with me!" ”

Murong was very angry at this time, but he knew that this person was Li Xian, and if he wanted to lose his temper at this time, it would not look good on both sides, so he couldn't help but pat the big man's shoulder: "Good boy, you have a lot of strength!" ”

The man muttered something Murong didn't understand, but Murong knew it was Mongolian. I just don't know which of the three parts of Mongolia it is.

Murong packed up and went to the main hall, and as soon as he entered the door, he saw Li Xian scolding the doorman who was kneeling there. It wasn't until he saw Murong come that he stopped scolding.

"Jin Yiwei knows Murong Wuji, please meet Li Ge Lao!" Murong entered the door and saluted first.

Li Xian personally stood up and helped Murong up and said apologetically: "Lord Murong is really sorry, I only injured my lord by mistake because of an order." This doorman is very unreasonable! ”

Murong was puzzled: "Why did Elder Ge say that?" ”

It turned out that when Murong was in front of the door, the doorman did give Li Xian. But Li Xian was not ashamed to be in the company of Jinyiwei, so he avoided it. It wasn't until the second time that Murong took out the book written by Na Li Xian and saw Na Momei before introducing Murong into the mansion.

Li Xian has long had this rule: anyone who sees this ink plum painting in his hand, whether it is a document or a classic, will not see it.

"Why did this doorman arrange for that man to take my life?"

"This doorman's family was copied by the Jinyi Mansion, but he was young and ignorant and was adopted by me in the mansion. I hate you when I see you here. Li Xian suddenly said in a low voice.

"I see!" Murong couldn't help but be overjoyed when he heard this. Leaving the persecution of the doorman behind him, he learned that Li Xian's rules proved that he had found the right place, and finally had a clue. That's the joy.

"Now that the elder knows the origin of this Momei, I still want to tell you!" Murong hugged his fists.

Li Xian was silent for a long time, his eyes were dilated, and he slowly spit out a few words: "It's better to not know about this matter!" ”

Murong couldn't help but feel anxious when he heard this, and hurriedly persuaded: "I hope that the elder Ge will tell me the origin of this Momei!" This incident has led to a number of murders in the palace. The chief of Duofu and thirteen palace servants all died because of this! I also hope that the elder will tell the truth! ”

Li Xian hesitated for a long time, unable to make up his mind. As soon as he heard Murong talk about the palace murder, he couldn't help but ask, "What! Is that really the case? ”

Murong nodded and said, "These fourteen lives are all strangled...... Strangled by the neck and suffocated, and every deceased person had this Momei pattern on their bodies! ”

The reason why Murong paused was that he suddenly remembered Fang Cai's own situation, wasn't it the way the dead in the palace died! was strangled by the neck and suffocated, with no power to resist and parry. Murong is still a martial arts master, what are those palace servants!

Li Xian realized that this matter was not trivial, so he resolutely said: "What you hear next may be unbelievable, but this is a secret matter in the court today!" Not many people know about it! ”

Seeing Li Xian's serious and dignified face, Murong couldn't help but become serious as well: "Pavilion Elder, please speak!" ”

Li Xian narrowed his eyes and thought carefully: "That should have happened twenty years ago......

"Did you know that Yingzong has a younger brother?" The Yingzong mentioned in Li Xian's mouth is the father of the current emperor, that is, the first emperor Zhu Qizhen.

"Is the elder referring to Zhu Qiyu?"

"Exactly! I'm going to tell you the story of the two brothers! Li Xian paused, "This starts from the fourteenth year of orthodoxy, when Yingzong had just taken charge of the throne when he caught up with the Mongol branch tribe Warat to harass the border, and at that time Warat gradually grew stronger, repeatedly burning and looting on the border. The leader of Warat also led his people to become the largest force on the steppe! ”

Murong had also heard about it, but there was something he never thought of later.

"The ambition of the Warat people gradually expanded, and they even gathered troops to invade Xuanfu, Datong, Juyongguan and other places. The wolf's ambition was clearly revealed, and at this time, Emperor Yingzong was bewitched by the eunuch Wang Zhen and wanted to drive the expedition in person. ”

Li Xian said this, took a sip of tea, paused for a while, and then listened to Murong said: "After all, the first emperor's personal expedition is a major event, and you need to be cautious!" ”

"That's right, as soon as the first emperor said this, all the ministers advised him not to levy it in person. However, Di Li led the 200,000 elites in the capital to march towards Datong in the north. ”

Only then did Murong know that this past of the first emperor's personal expedition had really never been mentioned.

"The emperor's personal expedition is not a trivial matter, and the ministers are in the rear to respond in every possible way. The itinerary of the first emperor has been planned very well. But I just missed Wang Zhen, the big eunuch! He indiscriminately swayed the opinions of the first emperor, and the army would go east and west. It also coincided with heavy rain, and the roads were muddy and difficult to navigate, which was extremely unfavorable for marching and fighting! ”

Li Xian is old, and he has to stop and rest halfway through.

He took a sip of tea from his teacup, moistened his throat, and continued: "The leader of this Warat is not an ordinary person at first, and he is well versed in the art of war and marching. Seeing the appearance of our Ming army, he lured our army into the trap step by step. Finally, in the civil fort, it happened! ”

Li Xian was silent at this time, but aroused Murong's curiosity and said, "What happened!" ”

"The Ming army did not follow the marching route and was surrounded and routed by Warat. During the retreat, some of the remnants of the army were trapped in the civil fort by the Warats! The First Emperor is among them! ”

"The First Emperor is also trapped in the Civil Fort?"

"Not bad! There are no strong soldiers inside, and there is no rescue outside. The first emperor was defeated and captured! ”

Murong's heart trembled, but his face remained silent. never expected that the first emperor would have such a past, but now no one knows.

"After all, the emperor's capture is not a glorious thing, and future generations will erase this matter, so there is no way to investigate!" Li Xian smiled bitterly.

"This, what does this have to do with Momei?" Murong asked.

"No hurry! This Momei is just around the corner! Listen to me first: after the first emperor was captured, the court was shocked, and no one expected such a situation to happen. Now the courtiers have no leader, no one has made a decision, and it has become a pot of porridge! At this time, it was still the foresight of the Empress Dowager Sun, and let the servant king Zhu Qiyu temporarily take the throne! The era name was changed to Jingtai. He is the emperor who has been sitting for eight years! ”

Every sentence that Li Xian said in his mouth was a big surprise to Murong, the emperor of eight years! This is completely undocumented!

"The first emperor was captured, and he also began to go south first, all the way to the city of Beijing with the first emperor as bait. Thanks to Yu Qian and Shaobao's assembling of the Beijing Division and Henan Reserve Army, the reserve armies of Nanjing and Shandong were able to retreat first. also retreated first, captured the first emperor to the north, and used the first emperor to blackmail and ask for jewelry! ”

Murong heard this story, and remembered that the historian did not write down this war in detail, but only four words: "First Emperor Northern Hunting"!

Later, Na Cheng wanted to be sent back first. That's a lot of work. There is an emperor in the north who is going back to Beijing, so how is the emperor in the capital good? Although Zhu Qiyu has been the emperor for less than a year, that seat makes him want to stop! ”

"The first emperor is the rightful emperor, and he should be the one who sits!"

"Who cares about you? Zhu Qiyu categorically refused to give up! He welcomed back the first emperor and imprisoned him in the South Palace! A dilapidated and abandoned old palace! Continue to be the emperor comfortably! ”

Murong was a little indignant.

Li Xian saw the fleeting gloom on Murong's face, and said with a smile: "I know that you think that the first emperor is in such a miserable situation. But when the capital was in crisis, it was the mess that the king of Yu cleaned up, and when the first emperor hunted in the north, it was the king of the emperor who governed the country peacefully! ”

Li Xian's words are not unreasonable, Zhu Qizhen is also to blame for being so far, he took over the throne when he returned to the country, Zhu Qiyu's achievements for several years have been robbed, even if there is a temptation of power, but he cleaned up this mess, the people recuperate, and the country gradually stabilized, all of which are the work of King Yu.

"King Yu imprisoned the first emperor in Nanyuan, cut down the only big tree in Nanyuan, and sealed the door with molten iron, leaving only one window to deliver food and water. The throne of King Yu sat steadily, abolished the crown prince of the current emperor, and renamed his son as the crown prince! But the boy had a thin life, and soon died young! ”

Li Xian's expression suddenly changed and said: "After that, King Yu was seriously ill and bedridden, and he was not angry at all when he saw it. But the king has no heirs to ascend the throne. So someone secretly plotted to welcome the first emperor to the throne! ”

Murong was stunned for a long time.

"The courtiers knew that the success or failure of the restoration of the first emperor this time was life and death, so they used Momei to imprint on the skin of their bodies to let themselves understand that this success will lead to the sky, and defeat will be a catastrophe!"

Only then did Murong know that this Momei was the imprint of the courtiers to welcome the restoration of the first emperor, that is, the imprint of an organization.

This Momei really has a great background, so it is said that Duofu is a member of the restoration that year!

Li Xian sighed and said, "Later, everyone broke the wall to welcome the restoration of the first emperor!" The king was demoted to his original domain, and soon died violently! ”

Murong sighed after hearing this, he didn't know that there was such a big thing in the royal family! He thought about it carefully: the murderer's intention was very obvious that he was here to avenge the king of Yu!

Exactly: Murong returned to Beijing and investigated the murder case again. Jingtai asked for his life, and there were many suspicions.
