Chapter 143 The Secret of the Former Dynasty
After Qin Ge finished speaking, he lowered his head and saw that Lao Zhou had not spoken.
Thinking that he suspected that he had reservations, he quickly cleared his throat.
Explained: "There is really nothing else... uh... no no... there are some other things..."
"Well... apart from these, my disciple also heard some rumors."
"Oh?" Lao Zhou retracted his thoughts and glanced at him coldly, seemingly as a warning.
"tell me the story!"
Shivering, Qin Ge hit the cold sweat on his forehead with his sleeve, Qin Ge didn't dare to hold back any longer.
"Over the years, there have been several rumors in the palace."
Qin Ge lowered his voice and spoke in a mysterious tone.
"There is a rumor that the fifth prince is not actually the son of the emperor."
"It's the emperor's younger brother, the son of Prince Yong and Concubine Wen who had an affair."
"According to legend, this was the real reason why the emperor punished Concubine Wen Gui to Shuiyue Nunnery."
After saying that, Qin Ge muttered to himself: "Maybe... the emperor became angry because of shame? He sent someone to secretly kill Concubine Wen?"
"After all, less than a year later, King Yong died of a mysterious illness."
"Presumptuous!" Lao Zhou shouted loudly, which frightened Qin Ge so much that he fell to his knees again.
Lao Zhou raised his hands and saluted far into the air.
He said coldly: "My old master's loyalty to the emperor back then was a lesson to the world!"
"How can I allow you and other rats to smear me here!"
"Yes, yes, yes... master, calm down!" Qin Ge quickly explained: "This... this must be a rumor spread by those servants."
"Huh!" Lao Zhou snorted coldly and said nothing more.
He just raised his hand impatiently, motioning for him to get up and talk.
Qin Ge slowly stood up and raised his hand to wipe the cold sweat from his forehead: "There is another rumor."
"It's related to the treasure from the previous dynasty!"
"Huh?" As soon as these words came out, Lao Zhou suddenly became interested: "Go on!"
"Yes!" Qin Ge agreed and slowly talked about the past.
At the end of the previous dynasty, Emperor Gaozu of this dynasty led his troops to overthrow the Japanese and established the Nanhai Empire.
However, when the rebels invaded the palace, the gold and silver from the former treasury had long disappeared.
The previous dynasty was tyrannical and plundered countless people's fat and oil. No matter how much they squandered, it would not be empty?
The former tyrant finally stood on the roof of the hall with a sword in his hand.
Pointing at Emperor Gaozu and others who came with the army below.
Laughing crazily: "You will never find my treasure."
"You will never know the real secret of this island!"
After saying that, he laughed three times, jumped down from the hall, and fell into a pile of mud.
Afterwards, Emperor Gaozu ordered several of his sons to search separately, including the current emperor.
But it was true as he said, and it was never found again.
Afterwards, Emperor Gaozu established the Nanhai Empire and ordered people to search for it secretly.
I heard that some ideas gradually emerged, but before they could be summarized, the old emperor fell ill.
The battle for the throne in the Nanhai Kingdom also intensified, and gradually broke out into a sword war.
Although later, the current emperor, as the third prince, won the throne.
But those who investigated back then also died in the rebellion.
The old emperor, who was seriously ill, watched the two brothers killing each other, and his blood and blood were at the mercy of his heart.
In the end, he died.
The old emperor had also brought the secret that he had just some clues to the ground with him.
Since then, Qinglongmen has been in charge of the Jianghu, and Prince Yong has been in charge of the court, conducting a two-pronged secret search.
There were rumors that Concubine Wen might have discovered something and was silenced by some big shot.
When Lao Zhou heard this, he smiled helplessly. The rumors of this treasure from the previous dynasty had indeed been circulating in the palace.
As the emperor's most trusted younger brother, King Yong had indeed been searching for matters from the previous dynasty.
However, as the largest sect in the South China Sea, the Qinglong Sect is too powerful.
In order to prevent the concubines from becoming big in the harem, the concubines must be weakened.
Qinglongmen will naturally be suppressed. How could it be their turn to intervene in such a delicate matter of the previous government?
Lao Zhou shook his head. It seemed that it would not be that easy to find out about this matter.
But now it is almost certain that it was the work of the guards in black.
Once you know this, it will be much easier to check in the future.
Lao Zhou put down the teacup in his hand and seemed to feel better.
Seeing Qin Ge so frightened, he said a few words of comfort.
"Okay...from now on, as long as you do your best to serve His Highness the Fifth Prince, I will naturally not treat you badly!"
"I think you should know the methods and strength of His Highness the Fifth."
Upon hearing this, Qin Ge hurriedly expressed his loyalty: "What the master said is absolutely true, I will bear it in my heart!"
"Well... that's it!" After Lao Zhou said that, he stood up.
"Prepare for me a set of black uniforms for the imperial guards, a set of eunuch uniforms for the palace eunuchs, and corresponding identity badges."
"Just leave it here. I'll pick it up tomorrow. Do whatever you need to do. If anything happens, I'll contact you again."
Qin Ge hurriedly agreed. A breeze blew by and he heard the door ringing.
When he looked up again, Lao Zhou was gone.
"Huh!" Qin Ge, who saw Lao Zhou's true strength, suddenly slumped down on the chair.
He prides himself on being a top-notch photographer in this South China Sea country.
But in front of this old goblin, he was as weak as clay.
What I did just now is telling myself that I'd better be obedient, otherwise I'll kill you like a chicken.
Qin Ge slumped down on the chair, looking at the clusters of flames in trance.
This night was destined to be another sleepless night for him.
Time flies, in the blink of an eye, half a month has passed.
One morning, Li Qi, who was sitting in the handsome tent, was studying the sand table.
He has been exchanging letters with Nan Yanxi recently, and their relationship has gradually warmed up.
This guy has a quick mind and a big-picture perspective. He is a good prospect.
Moreover, Li Qi also knew everything about him and his daughter.
For this young master, distant nephew, and future son-in-law.
Li Qi was still very satisfied.
Recently, the two have concluded discussions with each other and gradually begun to change their combat strategy.
Thoroughly implement Ye Zhiyu's strategy and begin to deliberately seize some important islands and cities.
He also deliberately let Nan Yunxi win a few battles and gave him some insignificant desert islands or small towns with no strategic significance.
Keep hanging him, making him feel that no matter how hard he works, he might be able to make a comeback.
In fact, everyone knows that it is impossible, the military resources are exhausted, and the food and grass are not abundant.
It’s so cool to be able to make a comeback!
However, who really wants to be a slave to the subjugation of the country?
It was impossible for Nan Yunxi to agree to Situ Wen's conditions until the last moment.
Li Qi was just thinking about his next plan when suddenly a messenger ran in from outside the account.
"Report! Your Majesty, a eunuch has come outside the village gate and asks to see you."
"Eunuch?" Li Qi was slightly confused when he heard this.
"Where did the eunuch come from? What do you want with me?"
But the messenger shook his head: "I don't know, the man said he wanted to see the prince."
"But what he is wearing is our Nanhai internal prison uniform."
"Moreover... he seems to have been injured, and there seems to be a pursuer not far behind him, who has been driven away by my sentinels!"
