Chapter 21 Jialing River's treasure hunting, the sky hates the sea

Swimming to the location of the treasure cave, the two dived underwater, dived into the cave, and tentatively climbed to the height of the cave in the dark.

Xun'er took the short sword, pulled it out hard, it didn't pull it out, it was put under the water for decades, obviously rusty, he pulled out his arms hard, only to see the fine light shining under the candlelight, a cold light shining three-foot sword in front of him, at a glance it was made of stainless steel, Xun'er pulled out two hairs and blew it to the blade, the hair was amazingly broken into two sections, and it can really blow the hair and break the hair, which shows that the casting process is extraordinary.

After taking the brass cartridge again, there was a layer of green rust, and it was not easy to open it, and Xun'er didn't want to easily destroy the things around his grandfather, so he had to put him back in the crack of the stone, thinking that it was safer than putting it on his body and at home.

At this time, Jiang Zhongtian had opened the big box, only to see that the upper layer was a white Shu brocade embroidered papa, and the embroidered papar was wrapped with half a mandarin duck lotus lotus jade pendant, the box was closed tightly, and there was no water, so it was very well preserved, and I saw that the top was the first word:

Seven-card machine

Colorful butterflies flutter and want to fly

The hateful east wind blows off its wings

Colorful butterflies are innocent

What is the next life?

Dance in front of the mound with the monarch - Lin'er

Seven-card machine

The blood of the spring silkworm turned into silk

Who teaches easy into Luo Yi

Why to cut

Love the sky and hate the sea

Change into two pieces of clothing - shadow

This poem of seven machines, the first half of the handwriting is strong and powerful, the handwriting is timeless, and the pen end flows out of infinite affection and grievance, as if a man is sad and sad about the loss of his lover, and the grief and hatred are between the silk silk, endless; The second half of the rhyme is a delicate and delicate daughter's handwriting, which is also affectionate, with sadness in every sentence, the grief and resentment that lovers cannot rely on each other, and the resentful woman with blood and tears is suddenly in front of her.

There is also a page of rice paper folded into squares below, on which is a letter written by a woman, the handwriting is beautiful and gentle, only to see that it is written: Brother Zhaolin: Rongcheng weeps goodbye, it has been more than a month, born in this troubled world, people are not as good as ghosts; The concubine is on the side of the tiger and wolf, and it has been for many years. The concubine's heart is like the bright moon, and the concubine's heart is so sad. The hatred of the family and the country is added to the concubine, and now the thief is dead, the people's hearts are in chaos, and the sorrow of the family and country is increasing instead of decreasing; The king's heart is like a bright moon, the concubine's heart is long Chanjuan, the yellow sky has no eyes, the concubine has hatred, when will Jiang Yue be reunited?

Now when the eternal trick, the boat will be overturned, a thousand sorrows and hatreds, submerged flowing water, family and country grievances, burned, want to be a king and a concubine, childhood sweethearts, love is stronger than gold, but what is the fate? Just wait for the next life, no longer be a human being, turn into a mandarin duck and colorful butterfly, and swear not to separate! The girl wept and worshipped.

It turned out that this was a love poem and farewell letter written by a woman named Ying to a man named Zhaolin, before the two had sung love poems and sent each other, expressing the resentment of being ruthlessly separated by lovesickness, and when the boat was about to capsize, he wrote a farewell letter to leave to this sweetheart named Zhaolin.

Ye Xun's heart moved, could it be that this is a farewell letter left by his grandfather's sweetheart to his grandfather, then his grandmother will have fun, but I have never heard of my grandfather's name and name Zhaolin!

"This is written by the empress of Emperor Zhang Xianzhong to Wang Zhaolin, Wang Zhaolin is Zhang Xianzhong's left prime minister, and also his concubine, I don't know that Empress Chen and Wang Zhaolin have such a fragrant story!" Jiang Zhongtian didn't take Zhang Xianzhong seriously, and blurted out.

It turns out that this Daxi Empress Chen Ying was originally the daughter of Chen Yan, a cabinet scholar of the Chongzhen Dynasty, who was born with bright eyes and bright teeth since she was a child, and she was like a flower like jade; Born as a lady of the Ming Dynasty, she has invited well-educated people to teach poetry, calligraphy and painting since she was a child, and she is a wealthy lady who is famous in Jinghua and has both talent and appearance.

However, this Chen Ying has been frail and sick since he was a child, and he has been diagnosed and treated by famous doctors in many ways, but he can't find a solution, and he is sick and weak on weekdays. On the first day of the first day of July, he had a fever attack, fell headlong, and fainted for three or two days before he woke up, until Chen Ying was six years old on the first day of July of the year, a strange wandering Taoist came to call the door and recommended himself to treat Chen Ying.

Chen Yan saw the Taoist crane with a childish face, a pair of fairy wind bones, so he asked him to heal, the Taoist saw Chen Ying, recited a string of Taoist mantras, took a piece of Taoist talisman from his arms, pointed directly at the Taoist talisman with his right hand, and recited words in his mouth, only to see that the talisman ignited a bunch of blue flames, which burned into ashes in front of Chen Ying in an instant, and the Taoist priest did not charge a consultation fee, but just told Chen Yan not to rush to marry Chen Ying, saying that she had her own destiny and went.

And Chen Ying's illness was miraculously cured, and he never got sick again, and when Chen Ying got married, Chen Yan believed the words of the Taoist priest, knowing that his daughter's life was unspeakably expensive, so he refused the marriage requests of many high-ranking officials of the dynasty.

But that Chen Ying is old, he has the mind of his daughter's family, it turns out that Mrs. Chen Yan Wang has a maiden nephew, named Wang Zhaolin, two years older than Chen Ying, born in a family of poetry and books, born is also beautiful and graceful, only to know people, he has passed the township test in Sichuan Province, lived in the Chen family to prepare for the imperial court examination, and the beautiful and talented cousin fell in love at first sight, the two spent the moon before the moon, put their hearts in their hearts, chanted poems against each other, got along day and night, and actually gave birth to a bad fate, the two met privately, and waited until Wang Zhaolin was in high school, and they could be married forever.

It turned out that Chen Yan was a jinshi in the second year of tomorrow's enlightenment, changed to a Jishi, served as the editor of the Hanlin Academy, went to Chongzhen to be the emperor, and was in charge of the Hanlin Academy. In the first month of the thirteenth year of Chongzhen, the right attendant of the Ministry of Rites was married to the palace attendant with gold and silver.

When Emperor Chongzhen selected cabinet ministers, he used the preparation of national policy issues to assess the meritocracy of officials. The eunuch received Chen Yan's silver, and heard that Emperor Chongzhen wanted to ask about state countermeasures, and gave it to Chen Yan, Chen Yan had a draft, and the article was free to deal with, in line with the wishes, that is, to worship Chen Yan as a scholar and a scholar of Wenyuan Pavilion, and entered the room to be a court zaifu, and later added the prince Shaobao, and was reappointed as a scholar of the household department and Wuyingdian University.

In May of the sixteenth year of Chongzhen, Zhou Yanru resigned, and Chen Yan became the first assistant of the cabinet and was relied on by Emperor Chongzhen. It turned out that the people who belonged to Zhou Yanru were all in the mood. At this time in the Ming Dynasty, the rebel army was everywhere, the government was chaotic, the country was declining, and the court was struggling, and Chen Yan had nothing to plan and was famous for taking bribes.

In the first month of the seventeenth year of Chongzhen, Chen Yan was reappointed as a scholar of the Ministry of Officials and a scholar of the Jianji Palace, and a month later, he was dismissed. Wang Yongji, the governor of Jiliao, went to the list of Chen Yan's crimes, asked to be put on punishment, and Wang Weixiao and Sun Chengze also impeached him. Chen Yan asked for his resignation and said to Emperor Chongzhen: "I misjudged and deserved death," Emperor Chongzhen was angry and scolded Chen Yan: "Your death is not enough to cover up your guilt!" "Knocked him out of the hall.

At this time, Li Zicheng was like a bamboo, first conquered Shanxi, and then conquered Xuanfu, Chen Yan saw that the situation was like a dangerous egg, and hurriedly sent his family to his hometown of Sichuan, but Chen Yan had too much property and could not leave immediately. Another month later, Li Zicheng's righteous army captured the capital, and Chen Yan was captured alive and imprisoned in the military camp of the subordinate general Liu Zongmin. Chen Yan took the initiative to hand over 40,000 taels of silver to "subsidize the salary", and Li Zicheng prepared to lead the army to conquer Wu Sangui, and beheaded Chen Yan and others in order to prevent the old ministers of the Ming Dynasty from "making trouble".

And Chen Ying followed his family from the capital to Chengdu, all the way to the bandits, the assets were looted many times, many relatives were killed, Chen Ying disguised herself as a man, and her face was plastered all the way before returning to the old house in Chengdu. They haven't had a few days of peace, Zhang Xianzhong's peasant army entered Chengdu, burned and looted when they entered the city, the Shu Wang's family was killed and looted, and those with a little wealth were also looted.

Chen Yingsheng, who is talented and good-looking, is the daughter of an official eunuch, facing the peasant army like a wolf and a tiger, a weak woman has no other way but to die to save her name, watching her home being burned, looking at her mother who is howling and struggling in the flames, she raised a short dagger and wanted to kill herself, and shouted in her mouth, "Brother Lin, see you in the next life," At this time, in addition to the grief and indignation of a woman in troubled times, there is also a joy of liberation, and she can finally leave this troubled world.

At this time, Zhang Xianzhong's righteous descendants can hope to see her, and see her delicate face in embarrassment, panic, and despair, and he was shocked at once, he thought of the father-in-law who held power in his hands, was tyrannical, but had no children, his father-in-law plundered all the way into Sichuan, plundered countless treasures, and plundered countless beauties, but did not fill the childless space under his knees.

Maybe God punished him too much for iniquity, maybe Rong Ma was too nervous, maybe he was too angry, and the angel didn't dare to go to his house to reincarnate; Although he owned twenty-four rooms of gold, silver, and jewelry, he could not have his own son. Sun Kewang felt that he could dedicate this angelic and beautiful woman to his father-in-law who was thirsty for a son.

So, Sun Kewang pulled out a knife and put it on the neck of Chen Ying's ten-year-old brother, and then, Emperor Daxi had a beautiful woman by his side, and she also found the "true son of heaven" in the mouth of the Taoist priest who saved his life when he was a child.

For the sake of her family's pitiful life, she served him like hundreds of women of Emperor Onishi, complimented him, feared him, did everything possible to please him, and satisfied his bizarre quirks and perverted wishes.

Until one day, Emperor Daxi was going to open a branch to take scholars, and selected a lot of young talents, at the Qionghua banquet in the Golden Palace, she sat beside the emperor, and saw the figure that was still beautiful and graceful, and the brother Lin who she had been thinking about for a long time was still so outstanding, so talented, and stood out among the many rough and reckless men in the palace.

She recognized him at a glance, he was Emperor Onishi's most favored Prime Minister Zuo, and he was also Emperor Onishi's new concubine; He also recognized her, and she had become Emperor Onishi's favorite woman! Is it the creation that makes people? Is it the cringe of power? Is it a compromise of fortune?

He and she didn't understand, but they were unwilling to bow to reality, so they waited for an opportunity to have a private meeting, although they died without regrets, and soon Emperor Daxi was happy to add a dragon, and she was promoted to the empress of Emperor Daxi, and her brother Lin became the most favored prime minister in front of Emperor Daxi.

In order to satisfy the Emperor Onishi to occupy more rivers and mountains, in order to plunder more wealth, Prime Minister Zuo saddled the horse before and after, and bent to cater to the Emperor Onishi, occupying more land, killing more people, looting more money, and possessing more beauties.

Even Wang Zhaolin understands the truth that whoever wins the hearts of the people wins the world, perhaps, Prime Minister Zuo is to let the Onishi regime go to ruin, in order to repay the hatred of his wife! Emperor Onishi fought everywhere, fought against the secession regime of the Southern Ming Dynasty, and fought against the Qing army under the fierce soldiers, until the Emperor Onishi was killed by the poisonous arrow of Hauge, the prince of the Great Qing Dynasty, and the Onishi army collapsed.

Zhang Xianzhong's four righteous sons gathered more than 10,000 remnants and family members, fled east along the river, before the rout, Sun Kewang led people to kill the left prime minister Wang Zhaolin, who instigated the emperor to kill indiscriminately, she also didn't know, she followed the ship of Li Dingguo, the general of Anxi, to flee to the east, to the mouth of the Jialing River, the boat was hit by the artillery of the Southern Ming army, the water gushed like a pillar, and the ship broke and will sink forever in the river.

Chen Ying locked herself in the capsized and sinking cabin and wrote a farewell letter to her Brother Lin, this time, she was really going to die, and in the wooden box was the half-paid Mandarin Duck Lotus Lotus Jade Pendant that Brother Lin gave her; I don't know if the whole set of jade pendants was looted by his brother Lin or custom-made, anyway, the two of them each hold half of it, and the mandarin ducks are of the same heart.

Then, she slept at the bottom of the river, safe and quiet, far away from the troubled times. The words say:

Seven-card machine

Spring silkworms exhaust their life's silk

How to call it miserable tailoring

Ruthlessly cut off the empty and long-term hatred

Only teach dense weaving

Xun'er put away Queen Chen's Shu brocade white silk handkerchief, he was still an ignorant teenager, where did he know the joys and sorrows of male and female love, but he just felt that this Chen Ying was really a poor person. Looking further down, there is a six- or seven-pound hard object, wrapped in a red bag, what is in the bag? Xun'er couldn't help but be taken aback when she saw it, could this be true?
