Chapter 37: Three Clues

"Taicheng" is the era name of the David Dynasty, and the era name is determined according to the emperor's personal interests, some emperors who have been in power for a long time, are afraid of trouble all their lives, so they use such an era name, and some emperors believe in this lip service, even if they only live for twenty or thirty years, they can toss four or five years out.

If you want to know all the era names well, then it is really a generation of scholars, but Lin Fengjin still knows the name of Taicheng, because the time is very close, let's put it this way, it is one of the era names used by Prince Wu Qian Zhen and his father, so although this pen is an antiquity, it is not too valuable, one hundred taels of silver is up to the sky, what qualifications can be placed here?

In the end, what Lin Fengjin looked at was a volume placed next to him, this volume looked like it was some years old, and a lot of it was torn off. The above is recorded in the name of the person, the date, and the approximate format are all the same, and a certain person (name) enters the palace at a certain time and leaves the palace at a certain time (signature and drawing).

Lin Fengjin, as a person who has been dealing with this kind of case documents for a long time, is no stranger to this thing, this is a register of palace access control, and the date on it is November of the fifth year of David Fengchang.

Other than that, there was nothing on the table, of course, it is worth mentioning that when Lin Fengjin sat down, the newly printed Book of Changes in front of him was opened, and it happened to be the page of "Yi Qian":

"Ninety-five, the flying dragon is in the sky, and it is good to see the lord. ”

Lin Fengjin pondered for a while, it was obvious that these things on the table were the answers that Tian Xiangzi wanted to leave for himself, but this answer still had to be solved by himself, he thought hard for a while, and still felt that the clues were not enough, but fortunately, there was still a very obvious breakthrough at this time. That is the first step, to find out what happened at this critical point in November of the fifth year of David Fengchang!

Lin Fengjin remembered very well that the era name of Fengchang was the first era name used by Emperor Wei Lie, the last emperor of the David Dynasty! Because when Emperor Wei Lie ascended the throne, it was a flood and a plague of locusts, and there have always been voices among the people saying that he was not properly seated, and that he was borrowing the throne. He actually stole the throne of his uncle, Prince Wu Qian Zhen, and this disaster was a warning from heaven.

Therefore, Emperor Wei Lie personally chose this era name at that time, of course, he hoped that the country would be prosperous and harvest every year.

But Lin Fengjin only knew this, so he needed information now, and he obviously couldn't get any information by sitting in this place, so Lin Fengjin took a deep look at this secret room again, and memorized all kinds of patterns and locations. Then he put away the three things placed on the table, left this secret room, and then went straight to Donglin Academy!

The era of Emperor Wei Lie is not far from now. Therefore, all kinds of records in the academy can be said to be quite complete and detailed, and a group of people in the academy are cultivating the "Wei History", and the things collected are even more amazing, and Lin Fengjin even saved the effort to find it. What's more, one of Mr. Yang Ming's disciples, Zhou Dingzhou, is doing this, and the relationship between the brothers is definitely much closer than that of outsiders.

If Lin Fengjin went to find someone else to help, it would be a bit rude not to give a gift. And if he went to this Senior Brother Zhou for help, it would be rude to give expensive gifts. At this time, although it is a little abrupt to go to the night, it is a trivial matter among the same teachers and brothers.

Although this senior brother Zhou Dingzhou is a cultivator, he is bearded, burly, a good figure as a military general, and looks a little nondescript in the literati's robe, but in the examination, the attainments in gold and stone are extremely deep, Lin Fengjin knew that he was fond of things in the cup, so he simply mentioned the two high-class daughters in the past.

As a result, after Lin Fengjin arrived outside his residence, he was pleasantly surprised to find that although it was past the third watch (one o'clock in the middle of the night), the window on Senior Brother Zhou's side was still lit, so that it would be easy to do without sleeping, and it was not a pleasant thing to wake people up from sleep.

After the two met, they exchanged pleasantries, Lin Fengjin directly talked about his intentions, saying that he currently has a problem in his hands that he needs to understand something, and he wants to ask his senior brother to solve his doubts, Senior Brother Zhou laughed, saying that it was a matter of duty, and it happened that there was an attack of wine worms in his stomach, as long as the junior brother accompanied him to drink, the two of them peeled peanuts and drank wine, and drank that warm atmosphere.

In the blink of an eye, after three rounds of drinking, Lin Fengjin directly took out the question in his heart:

"Senior brother, I don't know what happened in Fengchang in the fifth year? Hmm, it should be related to Jingshi and the Imperial Palace. ”

After hearing this, Zhou Ding was stunned and said:

"Fengchang five years? The first major event is naturally that He Pingzhou was dismissed because he was involved in the fraud case in the science field, well, the next thing is that there is a headless public case in the capital, and now it has not been solved, that is, nine people have disappeared in a row, and the identities, genders, ages, and nobles of these nine people are different, among which the noble one has the son of the county king, and the lowly one even has a Lu family who pours night incense, and the only thing these nine people have in common is that their birthdays are the third day of the first month. ”

Speaking of this, Zhou Ding drank another glass, then took a sip of wine, and said with a smile:

"Senior brother really has a heart, this champion is at least twenty years old, let me think about it again, five years of Fengchang, five years of Fengchang, are you sure that everything counts?

Lin Fengjin said with certainty:

"Of course, as long as the rumors are widespread, even anecdotes or anything count. ”

Zhou Dingdao:

This is what I saw from a county chronicle, as well as the singing and poems of many literati and writers at that time, saying that it was the end of November, and the torrential rain and lightning thunder roared loudly, it is said that the real dragon was born, and some people saw the dragon across the sky, shuttling in the lightning, Lulin County recorded, saying that someone picked up a piece of dragon scales, in the shape of a full moon, with a spicy and pungent fragrance, shining gold, and was later confiscated. However, this matter seems to have been reprimanded and banned by the imperial court, saying that it was a lie, and the person who found the dragon scales was executed. And I also sought the man's sons and neighbors, and testified that it was so. ”

Lin Fengjin heard the key word "November", and immediately made a "pop" in his heart, and immediately paid attention to it, and frowned after listening to Zhou Ding's words:

"The birth of the real dragon, this is a great auspiciousness, why would the court denounce it as a fallacy to confuse the public?"

Zhou Ding took another sip of wine and said:

"At that time, Emperor Wei Lie was seriously ill, and the court situation was turbulent, but it was also thanks to the then Zuo Xiang Wei Quancai who survived, there is a way that is better than a motion, Emperor Wei Lie has been rightfully ascended the throne for several years, and there are not many auspicious rays born with this real dragon, but there are not many of them! In case it is used by people with ulterior motives, things will be big, but don't forget, there is also a martial prince Qian Zhen eyeing him beside him. ”

"What's more, everyone knows that Xiangrui is presented to the emperor, but it was Wei Quan who presided over the government at that time, so naturally he didn't have any attraction to him, and the disadvantages were also quite big, so it was very natural to be banned. ”

Lin Fengjin felt that the reason Zhou Ding said also had some truth, but it was still worth scrutinizing, not to mention that this incident happened at this critical juncture in November, of course, it had to be recorded.

"Huh?" Lin Feng recalled what Zhou Ding said, and suddenly said in his heart: "By the way, Senior Brother Zhou, you just said that Emperor Wei Lie is seriously ill?"

"That's right?" Zhou Ding said normally.

According to the records in the history books, Emperor Wei Lie is said to have had a vicious disease in the womb since he was a child, his body is very weak, and he coughs more than when he is young, and he is also diligent after he ascends the throne, so the disease is sometimes good and bad, and has never been treated and broken, even if it is summer and autumn to temporarily suppress the disease, in winter, when the climate is cool, it is coughing non-stop. ”

"When Fengchang was in the fifth year, it is said that Emperor Wei Lie had just handed over the autumn into August, and the cough was committed again, and then he began to cough up blood in October, when the court generally thought that this time it would not be able to survive, and the courtiers had faintly begun to split, one faction was the crown prince who advocated the establishment of Emperor Wei Lie, and the other faction was to support Qian Zhen, the prince of Wu. ”

However, when Emperor Wei Lie was in December, his illness suddenly improved, he was able to eat and drink quickly, he was able to review the folds after two days, and he was able to go to the palace after five days, and he quickly stabilized the current domestic situation, although this situation is very rare, but it is definitely not impossible. And after the beginning of the year, Emperor Wei Lie changed the name of Fengchang to Jingyuan, even now, everyone has different opinions on the name of Jingyuan, and there is no exact statement, which can only be sure to be related to the turning point of Emperor Weilie's serious illness.
