Since the founding of Da Chu, it has been passed down for six generations.
Taizu, the country was strong during the Gaozong period, and reached its peak during the Xingzong period. However, due to Xingzong's fondness for extravagance and large-scale construction projects, at the end of Xingzong, the harem interfered with politics again. It was at this time that the national power of Chu began to decline.<
/p>
During the Yingzong period, there were even more fights between royal family members for power.
From the late Yingzong period to the early Renzong period, the regents had exclusive power, and decades of internal fighting in the royal family almost exhausted the accumulation of Taizu and Gaozong.
In the middle and late period of Renzong, because of Renzong's hatred for the regent, he almost overturned all the decrees issued by the regent when he came to power and purged a large number of officials, causing the court to be unstable for a time.
After the emperor ascended the throne, the biggest problem he faced was that the treasury was empty. However, wars continued on the border between Dachu and Dachu. Money was needed everywhere, and he often faced the embarrassing problem of being stretched thin.
Therefore, the royal treasure left by Taizu was extremely important to the emperor who was short of money.
To get the treasure, one needs the treasure map, and the other is the key to unlock the treasure.
Although the treasure map has not been found yet, it is good to get the treasure key first.
However, the emperor never expected that when Lord Liu found the key to the treasure, he did not report it to him, but gave it to Concubine Liu. After Concubine Liu got it, she did not hand it over, but hid it secretly.
Not only did he hide it, but he actually broke the key!
When he saw the re-attached key on the imperial case, the emperor's face became extremely gloomy.
If he didn't need to use the Liu family and the fourth prince to constrain the prince and the Wei family, he really wanted to take over the Liu family.
"Your Majesty, Mr. Yao San has arrived."
Liu Zhong, the chief steward of the imperial court, cautiously entered the palace to report. Hearing the emperor's "hmm" sound, he immediately asked the eunuch to invite Chu Yao in.
"See the Emperor."
Looking at Chu Yao who was kneeling on the ground, the emperor looked incomprehensible and did not scream immediately.
Chu Yao lowered his head and knelt quietly.
When he saw the emperor who was furious with Concubine Liu and the fourth prince at Jingren Palace, he guessed that the opportunity had come.
Because the regent almost seized the throne, starting from the late emperor, he began to deliberately suppress the clan members and not give them a chance to take the lead.
After that, the clan members were at peace, but the foreign relatives became a hidden danger again.
The Wei family and the Liu family have become more and more powerful in recent years. Although they are constrained by each other, the two families have more and more say in the court. In recent years, when implementing some political orders, they have even forced the emperor to compromise.<
/p>
Under such circumstances, the emperor was quite dissatisfied with his relatives.
The emperor is very controlling and hates others' disobedience. Concubine Liu Guifei and the Liu family secretly hid the key to the treasure, which pushed this dissatisfaction to the top.
How to restrain relatives?
The best way is of course to enable clan connections!
"Get up."
The emperor is quite satisfied with Chu Yao's attitude and ability as an errand over the years. The most important thing is that Chu Yao has a bad reputation and is not taken seriously in Prince Rong's palace, so he has little power to rely on.
He can feel confident using such a person.
"In the future, you should also take over the Special Inspection Department. Now that the DPRK and China have stabilized, the Special Inspection Department and the Special Inspection Department will be merged into one and renamed the Supervision Department."
Chu Yao felt happy and said solemnly: "I accept the order and will definitely live up to the emperor's kindness."
The emperor knocked on the table.
Chu Yao looked over and saw the jade sculpture of the iron-eating beast on the table.
The Emperor: "The most important task of the Supervision Department now is to find the treasure map."
Although he didn't think he could find the treasure map, Chu Yao quickly agreed, looked at the jade carving on the imperial desk, hesitated for a moment, and asked: "Your Majesty, can the jade carving still open the treasure?"
The emperor shook his head with an ugly expression.
Chu Yao's eyes flashed with confusion: "The treasure is so important, how could Taizu use a fragile jade carving as the key? Didn't Taizu never think that the jade carving would break? Without the key, how can we open the treasure?" After a pause, "Your Majesty, I believe that a key is not necessary to open a treasure."
The emperor knew more things than Chu Yao: "It is true that you don't have to use a key, but the treasure is located in a lot of institutions. Without a key, you will only be able to get in and out. Unless you have the construction design drawings from that year and avoid all the institutions.
, otherwise it will be too difficult to transport the treasure out."
"When Xingzong was in power, because the key to the treasure was not found, he forcibly opened the treasure, and none of the people who went there came back." After that, even the treasure map disappeared.
The emperor looked at Chu Yao: "The treasure is very important, you must search hard, other things are not as important."
Chu Yao: "I will do my best."
After coming out of Qianqing Palace, Chu Yao glanced at the sky and felt that it was clear and clear. After years of suffering and suffering, he could finally come to the world.
However, this good mood did not last long.
Chu Yao left the palace and was about to go to the Special Chasi Yamen when he was stopped by Meng Moling, who had been looking for him in a hurry.
"Brother Yao, it's not good. The old princess took the princess to the Duke Wen's mansion. My cousin secretly sent someone to send me a message, saying that the old princess wants to help you find the eldest daughter of the banker."
When Chu Yao heard this, his face immediately darkened, and he gave Meng Moling the imperial edict just issued by the emperor: "Go to the Special Investigation Department, then call a team of people and take them directly to the Duke Wen's Mansion."
Meng Moling quickly read the contents of the imperial edict. When he saw that the Special Supervision Department and the Special Inspection Department were merged into one, and Chu Yao was appointed as the commander, he immediately shouted with joy. When he raised his head, Chu Yao had already galloped out.
So far away.
Meng Moling quickly put away the imperial edict and quickly went to the Special Investigation Department to call for help.
As the weather gets warmer and the vegetation revives, various banquets in the capital begin to increase.
Due to the eldest prince's sudden rise to power, Duke Wen's palace has lost its previous low profile. The banquet held recently has invited many nobles and family members of important officials in the court to attend.
The Duke Wen's Mansion and the Duke An's Mansion were built on the street. When Fuxin came to the Duke An's Mansion to visit her sister and two nephews, she was blocked in the street.
Shi Fuxin sent Xiaofang to inquire about it, and then she found out that a flower appreciation banquet was held at Duke Wen's mansion today.
"It seems that the old Princess Rong and the Princess Rongjun arrived. Mrs. Wen Guogong and the female relatives of the Zhuang family came out to greet them. The ladies of each family also came forward to greet them, and the road was blocked."
Shi Fuxin's face showed surprise: "With two princesses here at once, Duke Wen's palace is really proud of us."
But thinking that Prince Rong and Princess Rong came from a banker, it’s not surprising.
However, Prince Rong and Princess Rong have not left the palace for a long time due to their old age. Why did they condescend to attend the flower viewing banquet at Duke Wen's palace this time?
Two quarters of an hour later, the street began to clear again.
The carriage was moving slowly. At this moment, Shi Fuxin heard the rapid sound of horse hooves. She opened the curtain and saw Chu Yao running past on horseback.
Why is this guy here too?
Thinking of the old Princess Rong and Princess Rong who had entered Duke Wen's mansion, Shi Fuxin smelled the smell of gossip.
