February 28, Mrs. Yongyi's birthday.

As a son, Song Yunfei also rushed back from Dongyang County the night before, firstly, to celebrate the birthday of Mrs. Yongyihou, and secondly, to return to His Majesty the progress of digging the cemetery for the former emperor.

Early in the morning, Song Yunfei entered the palace to report to the emperor about the harvest of these days.

Chen Quan hurriedly summoned Song Yunfei, who had been waiting for a long time, after leaving the court: "Aiqing has worked hard, but has there been any gain?" ”

Although there has been news coming from Dongyang County one after another recently, Chen Quan is not very relieved in his heart.

As long as this tomb is not dug up for a day, he will not be at ease for a day.

"Your Majesty, Weichen arrived in Dongyang County, first summoned two thousand laborers, and later added three thousand. At present, there are 7,000 soldiers in the entire Dongyang County. Most of the space between the Drinking Horse Pond and the Immortal Cave has been hollowed out, and a carriage and horse pit and a weapon pit have been unearthed first, but the time is in a hurry, and it can only be determined that it is a weapon pit and a terracotta pit for the time being, as for |......"

Chen Quan couldn't wait to interrupt him and asked, "Did you dig anything?" ”

For example, valuable gold and silver jewelry, cherishing antiques, calligraphy and paintings.

Lu Yangge can say that there is an imperial tomb below, if it is really an imperial tomb as she said, then the funeral goods will be abundant.

Song Yunfei didn't know what the emperor meant, and hurriedly said: "Some things have indeed been dug up, and Weichen has already asked people to sort them out and be taken over by the household department." It will probably be in these two days, and the household department will submit the list. ”

In fact, according to Song Yunfei's idea, naturally this list is best presented by him himself.

It's a pity that those old things in the household department are very wary of him, and they immediately send someone to clean up and take them away when something happens, and they don't let him touch his hands at all.

This made Song Yunfei a little dissatisfied in his heart, and he wondered, Is this the household department guarding against him, or the emperor guarding against him?

Hearing that he had only dug a carriage pit and a weapon pit, and had dug something, Chen Quan was finally comforted.

Whether it is the imperial tomb or not, he can't see it yet, but if there can be a carriage pit and a weapon pit, it must be a big tomb.

Song Yunfei continued: "The main tomb has not been dug for the time being, because the terrain of the pit inside is complex, and there are many mechanisms left by predecessors, so the progress is slow, and if you want to dig up the main tomb, according to Weichen and others, it will take at least half a year." ”

Of course, even if he dug up the main tomb, if there was no way to open the mechanism, unless it was violently destroyed, he would not dare to guarantee whether he would be able to open the passage of the main tomb.

However, there are drawbacks to violent destruction, and no one knows what is going on inside the tomb.

If it is violently destroyed, will it destroy the funeral goods inside?

These are difficult to predict, which is why Song Yunfei and others are making slow progress. If there are ancient tombs and people, they will be dug slowly, and sooner or later they will be dug up.

If you really want to take a risk, Song Yunfei is not so stupid.

"Half a year!" Chen Quan's originally high mood was a little low, this time seems to be a little long!

The carriage pit and the weapon pit are limited, even if they can produce something.

This ancient tomb of the Han Dynasty has been hundreds of years away from now, and even if there is anything left in it, it should decay and can no longer be used.

Good things are usually placed in the main tomb and the accompanying tomb, Song Yunfei has not even dug up the main tomb until now, and he has not even dug up the accompanying tomb, which makes him a little disappointed.

Seeing Chen Quan's disappointed face, Song Yunfei said helplessly: "Your Majesty, Wei Chen, Zhu Xiaowei and others carefully surveyed the terrain of Dayun Mountain and found that this ancient tomb is very huge, and the entire mountain is a huge tomb group. How many treasures are hidden in it, Weichen doesn't dare to guess. ”

Chen Quan was overjoyed: "Is this true? ”

If that's the case, it's the Imperial Tomb. The tombs of ordinary people will not occupy the entire mountain, not to mention that the system does not allow it, even if they really have that money, they dare not be so unscrupulous.

Song Yunfei replied affirmatively: "Seriously." ”

In fact, he didn't tell Chen Quan the truth, he could already roughly determine the location of the main tomb of Dayun Mountain, just because he knew that if he dug up the main tomb now, no matter how many treasures there were, the work would be very good.

Surprises are to come slowly step by step, and all the treasures are excavated at once, where are there any surprises at all.

Therefore, Song Yunfei was ready to follow the advice given to him by the people around him, start digging from the east of the tomb group, and advance step by step, so as to show this imperial tomb perfectly.

It also fills the expectations of today's saints for this ancient tomb.

Wait until he opens all the tombs from first to last, from light to heavy, one by one, so that he can not only impress His Majesty with him, but also leave a name in history.

Wouldn't it be the best of both worlds?

"Okay, good......" Chen Quan happily said three times in a row: "I've worked hard for you these days, today is your mother's birthday, and you, as a son, should accompany your father and brother at home to entertain guests, so I won't keep you." ”

It is basically certain that this ancient tomb is an imperial tomb, and Chen Quan is still very happy.

Chen Quan can't say that Song Yunfei is not doing things well, he can only dig a weapon pit and a carriage pit in a short time, and he can survey that this is a huge ancient tomb group, and he can't say that Song Yunfei didn't do his best to do things for him.

However, why not dig up the main tomb or the accompanying tomb first?

Chen Quan vaguely felt that something was wrong in his heart, but could it be said that Song Yufei had not experienced it.

Otherwise, send someone to assist Song Yunfei in digging this ancient tomb.

But who should I send?

For example, the upstarts of the Song family, naturally take the Zhenguo Mansion, the Ningyuan Marquis Mansion, and the Yongyi Marquis Mansion as the first to look forward.

Unless, he chooses one of the sons of the former courtiers.

In this way, we can achieve the imperial technique and checks and balances mentioned in the book.

"Your Majesty."

Song Yunfei was not in a hurry to go back to celebrate his mother's birthday, but opened his mouth to the emperor nervously, "Weichen still has something to ask Your Majesty to answer." ”

Chen Quan was still thinking about who to send to check and balance Song Yunfei, and when he heard this, his expression was not obvious: "Say, what's the matter?" ”

Song Yunfei fell to his knees: "Weichen wants to ask to marry the county lord of Huaiping, and I hope that Your Majesty will grant permission." ”

Chen Quan looked at Song Yunfei who was kneeling on the ground, his eyes were dim.

The entire hall was extremely quiet for a while.

Deng Wuwei, who was waiting on the side, looked at his nose and nose and his heart, as if he hadn't heard anything.

After a long time, Chen Quan spoke: "Didn't I promise you that when you come back from Dongyang County, I will discuss this matter?" ”

This Song Yunfei is inevitably too impatient, how long has it been, why can't he wait?

"Yes, Weichen knows, but when the minister came back last night, I heard that his mother was already looking ......at the minister" Song Yunfei was also very helpless, he was afraid that his family affairs on his side had not been decided, and the second Mrs. Song and his father had given him a choice for his daughter-in-law.

When the time comes, he can't regret his marriage.

Not to mention that his father and mother didn't agree, even the emperor and queen couldn't promise him to do such a thing.
