There were guards in the archives to verify his identity, but after seeing the gold medal in his hand, they all stood in awe and did not dare to embarrass him. You must know that the gold medal embroidered messenger is second only to the commander-in-chief in the embroidery building.
Some people even wanted to offer their kindness to help him find information, but Zu An found reasons and dismissed them.
A man came to the archives room, and because he was worried about being discovered by others later, he deliberately checked all the files in various categories, and mixed in the things he wanted to check along the way.
He stayed inside for two hours and finally found something.
Naturally, what he wanted to check was some information about the previous dynasty, and he even wanted to know some details about the change of dynasty.
After some research, he found that the name of the previous dynasty was Meng, and that the founding emperor was also a heroic figure with outstanding sons.
Unfortunately, for the emperor, it may not be a good thing if the prince is too good, because once they are good, they will not be willing to be inferior to others, and everyone wants to compete for the position of heir apparent.
In the end, the prince won, but the incident of seizing the legitimate son left a psychological shadow on him. He was always on guard against these brothers, and conducted various kinds of power reduction and surveillance, which made several brothers die in depression.
Unfortunately, whether it was genetic or something was wrong with his lineage, all of his heirs were short-lived and did not last long as emperor. As a result, power gradually concentrated in the hands of a powerful official, the Taizu of this dynasty.
What happened in the end can be predicted. The last emperor of the Meng Dynasty knew that he was unstoppable, so he wisely abdicated the throne to Taizu.
"Succede..." Zu An secretly sneered. This kind of drama has happened too many times in history, and almost no one is willing to do so.
He really wanted to check some specific information about the abdication that year, but unfortunately there was no record at all. Even the abdication was only briefly mentioned in a few files.
However, he still found a relevant fact, that is, after the last emperor of the Meng Dynasty abdicated, he was named the King of Linzhang, with a population of 10,000 households. The palace was arranged in Gaoyang City in Linzhang County, and he was given the use of the emperor's banner to prepare for the fifth o'clock.
The auxiliary chariot, the conduct of the Meng Kingdom's Zhengshuo, and the rituals and music systems of offering sacrifices to heaven and earth in the suburbs all imitate the system of the early Meng Kingdom. Those who do not submit a letter to the ministers and do not worship after receiving the edict are treated as such.
These were obviously the means used by Zhou Taizu to win people's hearts after he usurped the throne, but they have to be said to be very effective. Although there were criticisms from both the government and the public at that time about their usurping the throne, they were still praised for their kindness to the previous royal family.
Therefore, this record has not been forgotten. After all, it is used to praise virtues.
Zu An also noticed that the last emperor of the Meng Kingdom, who later became the Prince of Linzhang, did not have a prosperous heir. It seemed that the child died at a very young age.
He wanted to find more information, but unfortunately he searched the entire archives and couldn't find any useful information.
As for the most top-secret room, Zu An couldn't enter it. At the moment, he didn't want to alarm Zhu Xie Chixin. After all, the other party was the emperor's loyal dog. Going there to check it out for no reason would definitely arouse the emperor's suspicion, which would be troublesome.
Already.
Putting all the files back, his mind was spinning rapidly. At the beginning of his time travel, he discovered that his body had a hidden disease. From Old Man Mi, he learned that it was sealed by an extremely destructive method when he was very young.
At that time, Old Man Mi was still a little surprised. This kind of vicious method was usually spread in the palace. After all, the concubines in the harem used all kinds of methods to compete for favor.
It is a generally accepted truth in the harem that the mother is more valuable than the son. Everyone wants to give birth to a prince, but at the same time they do not want to see other concubines giving birth to princes to compete.
As a result, everyone used their own methods, such as poisoning, deliberately scaring the other party to miscarry, and other methods. Many tragedies of swallows pecking the emperor's grandson occurred in the palaces of the past dynasties.
Naturally, the royal family prohibits such behavior, and if discovered, the punishment will be very severe.
But these are human nature. There are policies and countermeasures. Later, the harem gradually found some new methods, which are methods that do not cause any damage in the short term, but the harm will be highlighted later.
Just like the kind of restriction imposed on the original owner of this body is one of them.
Zu An finally came to his senses. At first, he was confused. Since others could impose a ban, why not just abolish him? Wouldn't that be simpler and more convenient?
Now that I think about it, it's not that I don't want to, but that I can't. Once it is directly abolished, the symptoms will be too obvious and cannot be hidden from others, so some undercover sealing methods can only be used.
Another question that he couldn't figure out was why Jijiu helped him in the first place. He was deeply involved in the scandal with the Crown Princess, and the result even alarmed the indifferent Jijiu to come out to judge whether his words were lies.
At that time, he was still very uneasy. After all, the reputation of offering sacrifices to wine was too great, and he was worried that his skills might not be able to hide from the opponent.
Who knew that before he could use his skills, the other party would directly judge that what he said was true.
Others were naturally convinced, but Zu An knew very well that the other party had deliberately helped him.
But he didn't understand why the other party would help him. After all, the two people were incomparable.
At first, I thought that the other party was deliberately trying to cause trouble for the emperor, but this guess was not that convincing until I heard Xie Daoyun mention it in the academy today that there was some connection between sacrificial wine and the royal family of the previous dynasty.
Not many people in the entire capital know this. I don’t know why. Everyone seems to have forgotten this period of history. Xie Daoyun only found out accidentally because her teacher was the disciple of Jijiu, but she didn’t know the relationship between Jijiu and Jijiu.
What is the specific relationship between the previous royal family?
Zu An's thoughts were racing, and suddenly a thought came to his mind: I am not the prince of the previous dynasty, am I?
Having watched so many TV dramas in his previous life, similar developments were commonplace, and he even made up many details in his mind: For example, after the previous emperor abdicated, Taizu of the Zhou Dynasty appeared to be generous, but in fact he was not at ease, so he arranged for someone to secretly give the former emperor's
The heirs did something to make him extinct.
Or maybe things happened earlier. The royal family of the Meng Dynasty knew that being ousted by powerful ministers would put the country in danger, so they made two-pronged preparations and let their confidants with royal blood lie dormant among the people, waiting for the world to change, and then rise up under the banner of Meng's orthodoxy.
To regain the country, it was a pity that the powerful officials were so powerful that they still saw through it in advance and sent experts to chase them. Although they escaped with their own people, they were also plotted...
Jijiu had a close relationship with the former royal family, so he naturally knew all this. It was even possible for him to escape with his help.
Now that I'm back in the capital, he recognizes me, so he deliberately helped me before. The reason why he didn't recognize me was probably because the time was not ripe, or he had a bigger plan to plan.
Thinking of this, Zu An felt the hairs all over his body stand up. It turned out that he had unknowingly become a chess piece in someone else's hands.
"I just want to be a rich man or a pretty boy, and I don't want to be the enemy of my country and my family." Zu An wailed in his heart. He, who was always optimistic, felt extremely heavy at this time.
Once his identity is exposed, the emperor will not let him go. After all, the two are destined to be enemies.
The key is that all the remaining royal families, noble families and even the civil servant group cannot let him go. After all, the Meng Dynasty has been destroyed for so many years, and Zhao Hao has gained great prestige through his victory over the demon clan. Who will miss him now?
The previous dynasty.
After coming out of the embroidery building, even though Zu An kept hinting that he should not care about his identity, he didn't care at all about the princes and grandsons.
But later on, his mood became heavier and heavier, because even if he wanted to abandon the past, others would not let him abandon it, such as offering wine sacrifices, and there were even a group of forces loyal to the Meng Dynasty that turned from bright to dark...
Then he couldn't help but think about some things that happened when the dynasty changed. When he thought about orphans and widows being bullied and usurped by powerful ministers, he unconsciously felt a surge of anger in his heart.
When I think of that guy Zhao Hao, it can be said that old and new hatreds well up in my heart.
Suddenly he stopped and found that he had passed an ancient well without knowing it, and this ancient well was the secret passage connecting the East Palace.
After confirming that there was no one around, he jumped in, opened the mechanism according to the method he had seen before, entered the secret passage, changed out of the clothes of the embroidered messenger, and walked straight into the depths.
I don’t know how long I walked, but suddenly a beautiful figure not far away came into view.
Perhaps because she was in the palace at night, Bi Linglong wore a loose dress for home use, but the details of the dress were still gorgeous and delicate. Under the illumination of the lighting stones on the wall of the secret passage, her figure looked even more graceful.
She was pacing around the exit, looking like she was struggling with something.
When she suddenly heard a movement, she looked up and saw that it was Zu An. Her eyes showed a hint of joy at first, and then she suddenly realized something, her face turned red, and she hurriedly said: "Don't get me wrong, I'm just here to check the secret passage.
Whether it is intact or not is not waiting for you..."
She received a heavy hug in response. She wanted to say something more, but her lips were roughly blocked, and the sound of tearing silk could be heard in her ears.

The school teacher called at midnight last night to announce the suspension of classes. It was really difficult to take care of the children at home without going to school. His grandmother missed the normal school days for a long time.
During the day, everyone in several streets was required to take a nucleic acid test. The key was that the queue was too difficult. Maybe there was little experience before. Various problems caused the start of the test to be several hours later than the notified time, and then the queue continued for several hours.
.
But I heard from my friends that this is normal. In the beginning, I was in a hurry because I had no experience, but later I became more proficient and it would be faster.
In the evening, a nearby neighborhood was classified as a medium-risk area. The key is that a few days ago, I went to eat at a restaurant across the road from that neighborhood. Damn!
