Ye Qian nodded. He didn't really come to Zhao's house for a tour. Of course he wanted to go into the library and have a look.
As Zhao Ao, there is no problem in bringing Ye Qian into the Library Pavilion.
They soon arrived at the library. After Ye Qian entered, Zhao Ao excused himself and said he was going to wash up. Ye Qian didn't pay attention because he didn't have the guts to betray him!
The Zhao family's heritage is indeed impressive. Ye Qian briefly browsed through some books and could tell that the Zhao family's inheritance may be far more than the few hundred years he thought. It may have a history of thousands of years.
In every generation, the Zhao family has people who have become talented, either with amazing cultivation or good governance. In short, in every generation of the Zhao family, there have been people who have held important positions in the Song Dynasty, or who have been supported by strong men. Therefore, they have not failed for thousands of years, but have become stronger and stronger.
However, Ye Qian has a headache. He is not here to explore the history of the Zhao family, let alone conduct any academic research. He wants to find clues about the treasure of enlightenment!
However, there are over a hundred thousand books here. No matter how energetic he is, it will take a lot of time to read them all. But how can he just waste his time here...
I wanted to call Zhao Ao to ask, but I'm afraid Zhao Ao didn't know anything about the treasure of enlightenment. Ye Qian just knew clearly that such a treasure existed in the Zihuang Realm, but what did it look like, what was its origin, and what was it about?
He didn’t know anything about its efficacy…
But now that we are here, we can't give up just yet. Maybe there is a treasure of enlightenment mentioned in some ancient book?
Ye Qian had no choice but to comfort himself and continued reading.
He first read the book about the Zhao family. After all, he was now in the Zhao family and had even held their eldest son hostage. Although he was confident, he still wanted to know more about the Zhao family.
To avoid any surprises.
Regarding the Zhao family's own history, the Zhao family's family biography is quite detailed, and it can be said that they are quite proud of themselves.
In fact, the ancestor of the Zhao family, the ancestor who founded the Zhao family, was born in a very humble manner. It is said that he worked as a herder of cattle and sheep.
At that time, the world was not yet divided into three parts, and most of the entire Zihuang Realm belonged to a huge dynasty, Qin!
However, at the end of the Qin Dynasty, the royal family of the Qin Dynasty had become fatuous and corrupt, and was no longer able to rule the world. The world was controlled by three major forces. These three major forces were probably the three princes at that time.
These three princes were the predecessors of the present Han State, Yan State and Song State.
The Qin Dynasty fell, and wars continued in the world. These three princes were the main ones, and finally they gradually divided new boundaries based on their strength, and established the current Three Kingdoms.
The reason why I bring this up is to talk about the imperial seal of the Qin Dynasty.
It is said that it is an extraordinary treasure. It is a jade stone created by heaven and earth. Thousands of years ago, the founding prime minister of the Qin Dynasty personally carved words on it with great magic power and regarded it as the symbol of the Qin Dynasty.
The jade seal passed down to the country.
In the following thousands of years, each generation of emperors of the Qin Dynasty must use the imperial seal as a symbol, otherwise their reputation will be unfair.
Therefore, the Qin Dynasty perished and the world was divided into three kingdoms, but who is the one who is truly ordered by heaven?
This incident naturally triggered a dispute. In fact, the fall of the Qin Dynasty had long been doomed, because only these three families were the strongest in the world at that time. But in the end, the war continued for hundreds of years. The reason is,
It is because of this imperial seal that no one is willing to give it to others.
As a result, in the final battle, the national jade seal was actually split into three, and each of the three parties got a part. At this point, the matter was settled, and each of them settled down and established their own countries.
The ancestor of the Zhao family was one of the people who fought hard for the Song Dynasty and obtained one-third of the jade seals passed down to the country.
Therefore, with this huge credit, that ancestor became the founding general of the Song Dynasty. Each subsequent generation of the Zhao family had outstanding talents, which is why the Zhao family has the current scale.
When he saw this, Ye Qian didn't pay much attention at first. He just read it with the attitude of reading a historical novel.
However, after he finished reading it, he felt somewhat unhappy.
Before he could think about it, Zhao Ao came and respectfully invited Ye Qian to the banquet. Ye Qian followed without hesitation and wanted to see what this wealthy family with thousands of years of heritage had to eat.
When he arrived at the banquet, Ye Qian discovered that the banquet was not big in scale, but it was very generous!
This portion, first of all, refers to the dishes, which are indeed delicacies from the mountains and seas. They are cooked so well that one can't help but salivate at the sight of them. The wine is also aged, and the fragrance is overflowing.
But another important factor is the people participating in the banquet. Zhao Ao's parents are naturally there, and there are seven or eight men and women, who must be the core members of the Zhao family. The old man at the head of the table is let Ye
Qiandu couldn't help being surprised.
The man looked to be in his seventies, but he was very energetic. What surprised Ye Qian even more was that there was an aura about this old man that made him feel a little palpitated.
At first, Ye Qian thought that the old man was a hidden master. However, when he took a closer look, he found that although the old man was pretty good, he only had a glimpse of the late eighth level of the Tao Realm. This
A little strength is nothing in front of Ye Qian.
But why did this old man have an aura that made Ye Qian's heart palpitate? It was definitely not that Ye Qian felt wrong, but it was a real aura that made Ye Qian involuntarily tremble in his heart.
"Grandpa, this is Brother Ye. My grandson is able to come back alive this time, thanks to him..." Zhao Ao said in front of the old man with a low eyebrow.
It turns out that this old man is the head of the Zhao family, the Grand Master of the Song Dynasty, Zhao Bingyan!
Zhao Bingyan kept a serious smile, looked at Ye Qian a few times, nodded, and said: "That's good, little guy. It's thanks to you that my useless grandson came back alive. I'll have a good rest at home these days. If you have any
If you need anything, just ask. Even if you want to find a position in the court, you can do it."
When they heard what he said, the people around him were all shocked. You must know that Zhao Bingyan was the imperial master. He said this. Then, as long as Ye Qian spoke, the positions in the court, except for those who were first and second in command, could not be reached.
Aren't you just picking randomly?
But Ye Qian cupped his hand and said with a smile: "Thank you for your kindness, Grand Master. However, I just did it casually, but I didn't think about any reward."
Hearing Ye Qian's refusal, others were even more surprised. Is this young man stupid? Doesn't he know what kind of benefits he has refused?
Some people are also thinking, is Ye Qian trying to retreat in order to advance?
Zhao Bingyan thought so too. He sneered in his heart and looked at Ye Qian and said, "Don't refuse in a hurry. I can't speak for you. Since I promised you, I will definitely do it. If you refuse, it will be really serious."
I declined!"
Ye Qian smiled and said: "Ye really has no intention of asking for reward, but if the grand master is really determined to meet my request, then... you might as well let me read it in your mansion's library for a few days.
Book."
Zhao Bingyan was really surprised this time. He looked at Ye Qian a few times in astonishment, with a meaningful look in his eyes.
He had lived long enough and had seen enough. He could see that Ye Qian really didn't seem to ask for any reward. This made him a little more curious about this young man.
A smile appeared on his old face, and he said: "Okay, I will satisfy your request. You can take a look at the Zhao family library. Come, come, have a drink..."
During the banquet, Ye Qian was calm and unhurried, which made Zhao Bingyan even more surprised by him. This young man looked about the same size as his grandson, but his bearing was really extraordinary.
Zhao Bingyan, as the Grand Master of the dynasty, had extensive knowledge. Ye Qian's composure was not an act. He was completely confident and arrogant. It seemed that this was not a family banquet of the Zhao family at all, but just an ordinary restaurant.
Just have a meal.
Zhao Bingyan is the person in charge of the Zhao family. Although the Zhao family cannot be said to be a dragon's pond and a tiger's den, it is by no means an ordinary place. Even some high-ranking officials from the imperial court are cautious and cautious when they come to eat at his place, for fear of doing something wrong.
What.
In a daze, Zhao Bingyan had a feeling that Ye Qian's refusal to serve as an official in the Song State seemed to be the Song State's loss...
The conscience of heaven and earth, how did Ye Qian know that Zhao Bingyan had such thoughts, becoming an official... If he had such thoughts, being an emperor would be enough.
Zhao Bingyan was curious about Ye Qian, and Ye Qian was also curious about Zhao Bingyan. He understood that although this old man had an extraordinary status and decent cultivation, he definitely did not have the ability to make himself feel palpitations.
But why did he have such an aura about him that made him feel something was wrong?
After the banquet ended, Ye Qian took a bottle of wine and prepared to go to the library to continue reading. However, Zhao Ao came to see him, because this guy was also worried. What do you want to do when you come to my house to eat and drink?
What? Just reading here? Just for this... As for the black and white evil spirits who killed my family?
Speaking of the deaths of the Black and White Demons, Zhao Ao made up excuses and blamed them on the State of Yan. The two countries were neighboring countries and did not like each other. He said that people from the Yan State attacked him and killed the Black and White Demons.
, and no one doubted it.
Ye Qian was restless. When he saw Zhao Ao coming, he asked: "Hey, your grandpa...is there anything special about him?"
Zhao Ao was confused by his question, but he still replied: "Uh, what's special? There doesn't seem to be anything... In the court, he is one person below ten thousand people, and even the imperial edicts are written and sealed by him.
.At home, he..."
Ye Qian's mind suddenly brightened, and he vaguely thought of something. He quickly stopped Zhao Ao and said, "Wait a minute, you mean... your grandfather can seal the imperial edict? Is that the emperor's jade seal?"
"Of course! Otherwise, my grandfather wouldn't have said that he could arrange any position for you." Zhao Ao said.
Ye Qian ignored this, but his eyes flickered: "Is the emperor's jade seal of the Song Dynasty... a part of the jade seal passed down from the Qin Dynasty back then?"
