Chapter 24: In the Temple of Confucius (7)
Let's say that in the Acacia Academy, Quan Sima and Sima also said goodbye after Fang Shouyi. Acacia Shitai said: "Xue'er, you come with me." Take Shen Bingxue out of the meditation room, walk through the winding path, turn the corridor, and come to a secluded place in the courtyard. This place is planted with green bamboo, quiet and lingering, the bamboo forest is a left and a right two fine houses are lonely, and the main house in the courtyard is far away.
Shen Bingxue was surprised in her heart and said, "Mom, you live here?"
Acacia nodded and said in a low voice, "Don't talk loudly." There is also a senior here who is cultivating here, so you must not disturb her. ”
Shen Bingxue said: "Is it the old nun in the courtyard?"
Acacia Master said: "It's not a nun. But you have to be respectful to her, you know?"
Shen Bingxue saw that her mother said so seriously, so she could only nod.
When passing through the first house, Shen Bingxue saw that her mother was holding her breath and her steps were extremely light, showing great respect for the people in the room, she was surprised in her heart, and quietly glanced in the pane. I saw a white-haired man sitting in the middle of the room, with no face visible inside and out, and his long hair was draped down to his waist, but from the tips of his hair to the roots, all white, and none of them were black. Shen Bingxue gasped, and said in her heart: "Is this the senior that Mom is talking about, I'm afraid it's not a hundred years old, right?" Suddenly, there was a sense of awe in his heart, and he didn't dare to take a breath, so he walked over gently. The white-haired man in the room didn't move, I don't know if he was ignoring the outside object, or if he didn't notice anyone walking by outside the window.
When the two arrived at another house, Mrs. Acacia stretched out her hand to push the door, and the door gently slid back without a trace of abnormal sound. The surroundings are quiet and quiet, with plenty of light and bright windows. Shen Bingxue looked around curiously, the furnishings in the room were simple, but nothing was not elegant, the setting was free and concise, which made people feel refreshed, although the house was small, it did not make people feel crowded. In addition to the usual necessary utensils in the room, there is also a picture of a lady hanging on the front wall. The woman in the picture has a beautiful appearance, a slightly sideways face, and the ten fingers of her hands are as thin as jade onions, and she is playing the yaoqin, with a focused expression and a sense of soak in the rhyme of the qin. There is a four-line poem written in the blank space next to the picture, and Shen Bingxue read it gently: "There is a beautiful woman in the north, peerless and independent, looking at the city, and then the country." When I looked closely, I found that although the postures of the two ladies were different, their faces were exactly the same, and I couldn't help but be dumbfounded, and pointed to the image and said, "Mom, this is ...... This painting ......"
Acacia Master said: "Do you also see it? Let's not talk about this painting first, let's talk about our own affairs." Cher, do you know my family's surname?"
Shen Bingxue shook her head blankly and said, "Mom, what is your original name?"
Acacia Shitai said: "My surname is Li." Alas, I don't know what my real nickname is, and later someone named me Acacia, and I was called Li Acacia. ”
Shen Bingxue was extremely surprised and said, "Mom, who named you?"
The lovesick master was stunned for a long time, shook his head, changed the topic, and said: "I have not broken the roots, and today I recognize you as a good daughter, in fact, I am already cheeky to be this teacher." Xue'er, do you know how your father got into a feud with the royal family?" After a pause, he said, "Then we have to go back to twenty years ago, when the emperor was not the current emperor, but the emperor's son." At that time, your father was a guard in the palace. ”
When Shen Bingxue heard this, she couldn't help but sigh. Acacia Shi Taiji said: "Because your father was born in a famous family and has strong martial arts, he was named a first-class guard, responsible for guarding the defense of several palaces in the West Palace, and was one of the important figures in the palace at that time, and his martial arts were also among the best." At that time, my mother was a maid in the palace......"
When Shen Bingxue heard this, she was even more surprised to open her black eyes, and only listened to her mother continue: "...... Mom went to the palace to be a palace maid for a purpose. Because Mazu had a deep enmity with the Qing Emperor, I went to the palace to be a palace maid to wait for the opportunity to assassinate the emperor. At that time, I was of a humble status, and it was difficult to even meet the emperor in ordinary times, but if I talked about assassinating the emperor, how easy would it be? Later, I ...... Then I met your daddy. Your father found out about my suspicions and spying on me. This time, I don't have to know how to get out of the phone. ”
Shen Bingxue ate and said, "Mom, the back ...... And then?"
Acacia Shi sighed leisurely and said, "Later, I came and went, and somehow, my mother and your father fell in love with each other. Alas, the world is unpredictable. The evolution of the situation later is even more undreamable. ”
Shen Bingxue exclaimed, "What?"
Acacia Shitai said: "Later, your father was incognito and fled the world, and I fell into the void, not because of the disclosure of my identity, but because of your father." And the cause of all this lies in the 'Three Treasure Maps'. ”
Shen Bingxue's heart was shocked, and he suddenly remembered what happened in the Xiongfeng Dart Bureau, and the Ouchi guards came in a crowd to ask his father for the Three Treasure Maps, and said, "Mom, what are the three treasure maps?"
Acacia Shitai said: "This is even more long, it goes back to the Jin Kingdom five hundred years ago. The ancestor of the Jin Kingdom and the ancestor of the current Qing Dynasty are actually the same. Alas, hundreds of years ago, the Jurchen people invaded half of the Great Song Dynasty, but the descendants of the Jurchen people were even better than their ancestors, and they swallowed up the world of our Han people in one bite. sighed for a while, and said: "The Jin State did not destroy the Southern Song Dynasty, but was destroyed by the emerging Northern Mongolia before the Southern Song Dynasty. Emperor Mo Jin fled to Shangqiu, Henan, and finally the city was destroyed. But the strange thing is that the countless gold, silver and jewelry looted by the Jin State for more than 100 years have disappeared without a trace. The Mongol rulers searched all the hills, rivers, woods, and fields around Shangqiu City, but found no trace of treasure. Therefore, the Mongols have always been uneasy, fearing that the Jurchen tribe will use this huge treasure as capital to resist the Mongols, so they have been suppressing the Jurchen tribe very strictly, and after decades, they gradually relaxed. ”
Shen Bingxue said: "Could it be that these three treasure maps are ...... with this treasure?"
Acacia Shitai nodded and said, "Xue'er, you listen to me." The whereabouts of this treasure have been a mystery for hundreds of years, but it was only at the end of the Ming Dynasty that it finally reappeared. Its discoverer was Li Zicheng, the leader of the uprising that was rampant in Sichuan and Shaanxi at that time, and Li Chuangwang. King Li Chuang swept across the Central Plains and accidentally discovered the location of these treasures, but instead of taking the treasures, he deposited a large number of jewels, gold and silver that he had taken from the rich and noble, and drew a picture. This picture is called the 'Three Treasures Map'. ”
Shen Bingxue had heard his father and Ba Yangyu and others mention King Li Chuang several times when he was young, and knew that he was a big hero and hero a hundred years ago, but he didn't expect that these three treasure maps were actually related to him. After a pause, he asked, "Then why is this treasure map named Three Treasure Maps?"
Acacia Shitai said: "There are a lot of folk rumors about this. His lips moved, and he wanted to say something, but after a long period of silence, he finally stopped, staring at the cuizhu outside the window with motionless eyes, and said: "Soon after that, the army of King Li Chuang drove into the Forbidden City, Emperor Chongzhen of Ming Sizong hanged the coal mountain, and the three-hundred-year-old emperor of the Ming Dynasty was extinguished. Subsequently, Wu Sangui led the Qing soldiers into the pass, and Li Chuangwang was defeated and died. The whereabouts of these three treasure maps are unknown. At that time, there were traitors in the rebel army, and the matter was secretly reported to the Qing Emperor. At that time, Emperor Taiji of the Qing Dynasty died of illness, and Emperor Shunzhi was only six years old when he took over the throne, and everything was ruled by the Empress Dowager and the regent Dorgon. The two secretly sent countless eagle dogs, but found nothing. This batch of huge treasures was originally left by the ancestors of the Qing Dynasty, and the Qing Emperor was unwilling to give up, so since then, it has been peaceful on the surface for more than 100 years, but the Qing Dynasty's private search has never been stopped. ”
Shen Bingxue only heard it in shock, and said, "Then how does this have to do with my parents?"
Acacia Shitai said: "Because your father likes me, he has never reported my affairs, so I have been safe." Then I got pregnant, and then I gave birth to you. Although all this is done in absolute secrecy, it is extremely difficult to do it without anyone discovering it. All this is thanks to the help of a noble man. Speaking of which, that noble person is also the person who is causing us uneasy now - the current emperor Qianlong. At that time, he was the fourth prince Hongli. He had a great friendship with your father, but I never met him. He just arranged it secretly to prevent our affairs from being discovered. Alas, the fourth prince at that time was really a good man. At this, a soft sigh suddenly came from outside the window.
