Whether it is the Purple City or the Bu Palace, they are not only peerless buildings, but also symbols of power.
The Three Kingdoms of the Tang Dynasty wanted to build Yunding Mountain into a purple city, which meant that they wanted to stand at the top of China, or at least become a prince.
This surprised Ye Fan. In his impression, the submissive Tang Sanguo had nothing to do with the leader?
"It doesn't look like it? No need to doubt it, your father-in-law did have a brilliant life back then."
Yang Baoguo saw the confusion in Ye Fan's eyes, held the tea and laughed loudly and said:
"He is one of the first batch of students in the junior class. His grades have always ranked first in the class, and he is still dozens of points ahead of the second place."
"He even won gold medals in five international competitions in mathematics, physics, chemistry, and biomechanics. His youth was so bright that it was even more dazzling than yours."
"It takes at least seven years for others to complete a doctorate, but he successfully obtained it in three years, and he was the best among that batch of doctorates."
"If he hadn't recognized his ancestor and returned to his clan later, and got involved in the affairs of the wealthy family, Tang Sanguo would definitely have entered the 'Dharma Academy' and become China's top talent."
Ye Fan was slightly surprised. He knew that Bodhidharma Academy was a gathering place for the strongest talents in China, and every academician was a treasure.
Unexpectedly, Tang Sanguo was so glorious. Ye Fan thought he was just a little old man, and then curiously asked:
"When he recognizes his ancestor and returns to his clan, does he mean returning to the Tang clan?"
Yang Baoguo took a sip of tea and said, "Yes, it's the Tang Clan, one of the five great families."
"Logically it shouldn't be."
Ye Fan looked puzzled: "Isn't the Tang Sect also very good? After the return of the Three Kingdoms of Tang Dynasty, he should take off even more."
"Ye Fan, you are still too young."
Yang Baoguo burst out laughing when he heard this: "The ordinary people in the city have many things to do, but the rich and powerful have many grievances and grievances."
"When he was twenty-five years old, Tang Sanguo's identity was revealed. He was the illegitimate son of Tang Fengyun, the head of the Tang clan at that time, who had a one-night stand in Zhonghai."
"After confirming the blood relationship between Tang and Sanguo, Tang Fengyun overcame all opinions and took Tang Sanguo to Longdu."
He recounted the situation at that time: "I also asked him to recognize his ancestors and return to the clan at his sixtieth birthday party."
"This Tang Fengyun is pretty good."
Ye Fan heard this and praised: "I'm not afraid of criticism from the public, and I'm not afraid of being embarrassed. Nowadays, many people are ashamed to recognize an illegitimate child."
"The reason why he allowed Tang Sanguo to return was firstly because Tangsanguo was good enough, and secondly because he wanted to check and balance the power of his wife Murong's relatives."
Yang Baoguo gently shook the teacup: "After the return of the Tang Dynasty, Tang Fengyun paid enough attention to him."
"The Tang Sect first spent 10 billion to buy Yunding Mountain through operational relations, and then allocated 10 billion to the Tang Sanguo for development."
Ye Fan was slightly surprised. Tang Fengyun had absolute trust in Tang Sanguo. You know, the 20 billion back then was no less than the 200 billion now.
Yang Baoguo suddenly asked Ye Fan: "Do you know what Tang Fengyun means by throwing a lot of money?"
"The first is to test Tang Sanguo's ability, and the second is to give him the opportunity to make contributions."
Ye Fan added half a cup of tea to the old man and replied: "Although the Tang Sanguo individuals were famous, they made little contribution to the Tang Sect."
"So Tang Fengyun gave him such a big project just to support Tang Sanguo during the test."
"As long as Yunding Mountain is developed and becomes a dazzling project in Tangmen, Tang Sanguo will be able to gain a firm foothold in Tangmen."
He speculated on Tang Fengyun's thoughts: "After having a place, Tang Fengyun can cultivate Tang Sanguo as his successor..."
Yang Baoguo nodded: "Yes, Tang Fengyun has exactly this idea."
"Tang Sanguo also knew his father's intention, so he worked hard. He was determined to build Yunding Mountain into a purple city and gather the powerful people in Zhonghai."
"In this way, even if he fails to win the heir in the future, he can return to Zhonghai and become a prince."
The old man smiled: "So Yunding Mountain is not only a project, but also a symbol of the ambitions of the Tang and Three Kingdoms."
Ye Fan suddenly realized: "From this point of view, Tang Sanguo is indeed very ambitious."
"Ambition is a good thing, but unfortunately, if you expose your ambition before you have enough strength, it is no different than seeking death."
Yang Baoguo narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at Yunding Mountain in the distance:
"At that time, everyone could see that Tang Sanguo wanted to be the next head of the Tang Clan."
Ye Fan smiled: "Then it caused Murong's plan?"
"That's right."
It was rare for Yang Baoguo to meet a junior like Ye Fan, so he said many things to Ye Fan that he could not say to others:
"Tang Fengyun not only had one son in Tang Sanguo, he gave birth to a total of seventeen children, so you can imagine the internal struggles in the Tang clan."
"Before Tang Sanguo appeared, everyone believed that Tang Pingfan, the son of the eldest lady Murong Qin, and the eldest brother of Tang Sanguo, was the heir."
"Tang Pingfan is also very good, but he follows Murong Qin's instructions too much, and Murong Qin is used to blood transfusions from her parents' family, so Tang Fengyun doesn't like it."
"It is destined that there will be enemies when the Three Kingdoms of Tang Dynasty appeared."
"However, Murong Qin and the others did not engage in any small tricks such as assassination or poisoning. On the contrary, they were extremely enthusiastic and tolerant of Tang Sanguo in front of outsiders."
Yang Baoguo smiled and said: "We are a happy family."
Ye Fan asked: "What happened next?"
"later?"
Yang Baoguo sighed:
"The development of the Yundingshan project is in full swing, with funds of one billion, two billion, three billion being poured in one after another."
"The reputation and status of the Three Kingdoms of Tang Dynasty also increased. At that time, he was even more majestic than me, the city leader."
"It's just that when Yunding Mountain was developed to 60% and the 10 billion funds were almost used up, an accident suddenly threw the Tang Sanguo into hell."
"First, several buildings collapsed, killing and injuring dozens of workers. Later, more than a dozen security guards on night shift died on duty inexplicably."
"Once checked, they were frightened to death."
"The continuous casualties and accidents have made Yunding Mountain the focus of news."
"In the end, the workers dug thirty-six coffins underground, all of which contained the long-dead yet lifelike woman in red."
"The coffin also has the words "The Emperor's Thirty-sixth Concubine" written on it.
"Then they dug out nine long bronze dragons at the bottom of the mountain. There was also a coffin weighing ten thousand kilograms buried in the middle of the long dragons."
"There is a skeleton in the coffin, and there is a golden jade dress on the body..."
The words "Nine Dragons Pulling the Coffin" instantly appeared in Ye Fan's mind, and then he slapped himself again. He had read too many novels.
"This incident spread throughout the country in an instant, and countless eyes were fixed on Yunding Mountain..."
Yang Baoguo said calmly: "Everyone has heard that there is a Longling Mausoleum under Yunding Mountain. Overnight, thousands of archaeologists gathered at Yunding Mountain..."
Ye Fan sighed: "Seal your throat with one sword."
In that case, regardless of whether there is Longling at the bottom of Yunding Mountain, the project cannot continue and must wait for inspection before starting construction.
As soon as the project was stalled and delayed, the Three Kingdoms of Tang Dynasty fell apart...
