The pillar on the left is carved with a lifelike pattern of a dragon soaring into the clouds.
The pillar on the right is carved with a pattern of phoenix dancing in the sky.
Because they are underground and do not see the sun all year round and have not experienced wind and rain, these two pillars have no sense of vicissitudes of life.
White and clean.
Compared with the pillars of the Tang Dynasty Palace, they look grander and more solemn.
The pillars of the Tang Dynasty Palace have turned gray due to wind and rain.
And this is inevitable.
After all, even in later generations, there are so many ways to protect buildings, but they still cannot avoid the corrosion of rainwater and the stickiness of dust.
Fatty Zhang walked up to a pillar, touched it gently, and couldn't help but exclaimed: "Just this pillar, it cost a lot to build."
"Who built this?"
"When was it built again?"
"I have read so many history books, but I have never heard of anyone building such a palace underground."
Shen Lian smiled: "History books are written by the victors and emperors."
"If they are willing to write it down, it will be recorded."
"But if they are unwilling to write, then history books will be of no use at all."
He said: "Let's go and have a look inside."
Shen Lian led everyone directly into the palace.
As soon as they entered the palace gate, everyone was shocked by the luxury of the palace in front of them.
"this……"
"Crazy, crazy!"
"I feel like I've been dreaming."
Hua Zhanchao and others couldn't help but exclaimed repeatedly.
I saw that the floor of the palace was actually paved with gold.
The whole ground was shining with golden light.
And the pillars supporting the dome are actually made of jade.
The texture of the jade is pure, and the quality is first-class!
On each pillar hangs a luminous pearl the size of a bowl.
These night pearls emit soft light, illuminating the underground palace as if it were daytime.
Fatty Zhang couldn't help but said: "This can't be true!"
He hurriedly knelt down and dug out a piece of gold from the ground.
He took a bite and almost cried: "Real gold, it's actually real gold!"
Even Wang Junyan, a master of thousands of arts who has seen strong winds and heavy rains, couldn't help but say at this moment: "Just this piece of gold is enough for us to live a worry-free life."
"Then the entire palace, not to mention anything else, just the ground, the jade pillars, the night pearl, is worth so much."
"I think even the Tang Dynasty's treasury may not be as valuable as this place, right?"
Shen Lian nodded and said: "It really can't be compared to here."
He went to the treasury and Li Shimin's small treasury.
And no matter which one, it can't compare with this place.
This is not a palace, this is simply an empire of wealth!
Shen Lian thinks that the name of this palace can be called the Palace of Wealth.
Could this be what my mother left for me?
Did my mother leave herself a wealth that is unparalleled in the country?
Shen Lian thinks it is possible.
Although at the beginning, before he came here, he had considered whether his mother would leave him a pile of gold and silver treasures.
But he quickly ruled it out. He felt that a heroine like his mother would not be so vulgar.
But after arriving here, Shen Lian found it difficult to use the word tacky to describe the money here.
When the amount of money is small, it is indeed tacky.
But after the number of front desks reached a situation that was difficult to count.
The word "tacky" is so hard to say.
Shen Lian took a deep breath and said, "Check this palace and see if there is anything else besides these treasures."
Shen Lian felt that no matter whether this palace was left to him by his mother, her mother would definitely leave some clues to tell Shen Lian.
Therefore, he now wants to find the clues his mother left for him.
When everyone heard this, they naturally did not hesitate.
They quickly dispersed around to inspect it carefully.
Shen Lian, on the other hand, walked step by step towards the highest position of the throne.
He was thinking that this throne was the most special place in this palace.
If my mother left a clue for me, would she be on the throne?
Shen Lian walked step by step towards the throne on the high platform.
Stepping onto the steps made of white marble, Shen Lian soon reached the high platform.
This high platform is located at the back of the main hall and is the highest place in the entire palace.
And the throne, which represents supreme power, is located on the high platform.
Shen Lian stood in front of the throne and looked towards the throne.
I saw that this throne was made of gold.
Shen Lian felt that the entire throne must contain at least hundreds of kilograms of gold. Its value can be imagined.
The throne is very wide, so two people sitting side by side will not feel crowded.
The armrests of the throne are carved with an eight-clawed dragon.
The dragon circled the armrest and soared into the clouds, as if it was about to take the throne and soar into the sky.
Shen Lian's fingers lightly crossed the throne, and then he raised his hand.
I saw a layer of dust on my hands.
He felt a little emotional in his heart.
No matter how precious the throne is, it will become dull if no one sits on it.
Shen Lian gently swept away the dust on the throne and inspected the throne carefully.
However, apart from being expensive and luxurious, there is nothing special about this throne.
Shen Lian narrowed his eyes.
However, he was not too surprised.
It would be strange if he could find something his mother gave him so easily.
Although I have been separated from my mother for nearly twenty years.
But Shen Lian knew her mother's habits very well.
It can be seen from the two paintings left by my mother and the eight-sided exquisite lock that my mother loved to give herself problems.
Shen Lian smiled and sat down.
He didn't dislike his mother's habits, but liked them very much.
After all, what a smart person like him likes most is guessing riddles.
If everything is clearly placed in front of you, it will be less fun.
Sitting on the throne, Shen Lian's first feeling was that of coldness.
How can a throne made of pure gold be so cool?
"What's the point of sitting on this throne?"
"Hard and cold."
Shen Lian complained.
He looked back, put his hands on the armrests, and looked down at the entire palace.
I have to say that the location of this throne was chosen extremely well.
Sitting on the throne, you can have a panoramic view of the entire palace.
What Hua Zhanchao and others are doing is completely under Shen Lian's sight.
A picture appeared in Shen Lian's mind.
An emperor, sitting on the throne.
Overlooking the civil and military officials.
The civil and military officials stood tremblingly below, and every subtle expression and every movement they made, whether they were sincere or fake, were all captured by the emperor's eyes!
And that emperor knew everything, but didn't show anything.
He looked down at everyone calmly, like looking down at ants, looking at everyone's life and death with indifference.
Take charge.
Life and death are all determined by the mind.
Shen Lian slowly exhaled a breath.
"No wonder everyone wants to be an emperor."
"It's just that once you sit on the emperor's throne, even if you can control everyone's life and death, you are still completely trapped on this throne."
"It is a sad thing to be stuck in one seat for the rest of your life and cannot leave it for the rest of your life. I have to say it."
Shen Lian stood up slowly.
He already knew where the things his mother left for him were.
The throne is like a prison.
And this confinement is not what my mother wants to see.
Therefore, my mother deliberately asked him to come here.
Shen Lian felt that it should be to tell himself not to be imprisoned by power.
My mother didn't tell Shen Lian anything important.
She just put all this in front of Shen Lian.
Let Shen Lian come to this magnificent palace by himself and see its splendor.
To experience the beauty of the throne.
Then, let Shen Lian understand that although the person sitting on the throne has power, he has also lost his freedom.
Forever and ever, imprisoned on this golden throne.
Is this worth it?
Shen Lian walked towards the high platform step by step.
He knew that since his mother did not want him to be imprisoned by power.
Then, what his mother left for him was definitely not on the high platform or on the throne.
But at the farthest place from the throne!
Because that's what my mother wants!
Don't be burdened by fame and fortune.
Be a free person!
Be a person who does whatever you want to do!
And the place furthest away from the throne of the entire palace is the place where Empress Beidou feels most free!
Therefore, what Empress Beidou left for Shen Lian must be there!
Shen Lian walked off the high platform and walked towards the opposite side of the high platform.
If the entire palace is judged as a rectangle, then the points farthest from the high platform must be the two farthest corners of the rectangle.
The high platform is located behind the center of the palace and is located on the symmetry line of the rectangular palace.
Therefore, Shen Lian needs to investigate two locations.
Opposite the throne, at the two corners where the extension line of the palace gate is located, are Shen Lian's goals.
Shen Lian first walked to the front left corner.
Stepping on the floor made of gold and looking at the figure reflected in the gold, Shen Lian smiled.
He felt that his mother must be a very interesting person.
She can think of this way to tell herself the truth of life instead of just talking about it.
This is enough to show my mother's wisdom.
In this world, mothers have countless truths that they want to tell their children.
It's just that some mothers will only give orders to their children dryly: they can't do this and they can't do that.
As everyone knows, for some children who have a strong sense of autonomy, this method of command will only cause the children to rebel.
In the end, it is very likely that the child will go further and further away from the goal he hopes for.
But some mothers will use their love and wisdom to tell their children the principles of life in a way that the children can accept.
He will not interfere.
He will put the truth in front of the child, and he will not interfere too much whether the child is willing to accept her truth.
Often, the children raised by such mothers will grow closer and closer as they hope.
My mother is the best among the latter.
However, Shen Lian felt that her mother seemed to have always been very confident in her IQ.
After all, no matter where the two pictures come together, the secret picture can be discovered.
Or is this what the throne represents?
To see through it requires a certain amount of wisdom.
If you don't have enough wisdom, you won't be able to understand what Beidou Empress means.
He was thinking, why is his mother so confident in his own wisdom?
Is it because my mother is also very wise?
So, a wise mother believes that her children must also be very smart?
Shen Lian suddenly remembered something again.
When he was in Nanzhao before, he found Tianquan, his father.
From his father, he learned some things about the encounter between Lady Beidou and his father.
According to what dad said.
My mother should be the kind of woman who is full of heroism, full of justice, and full of passion, but she does not have far-reaching vision and wisdom!
But now, the impression his mother gave him was full of wisdom!
so……
Shen Lian couldn't help but sigh.
"Dad, how much credibility do you have in those words?"
Originally, Shen Lian thought that excluding the fact that Empress Beidou liked Dad and had to follow Dad, it was the truth of the past.
But now, he discovered that the truth seemed to be very different.
What kind of lie did his father tell in order to maintain his image in front of him?
Shen Lian couldn't help but shook his head.
He felt that he needed to have a good chat with his father the next time he saw him.
Let dad stop slandering his mother.
But when can I see my dad?
When he first met Yu Heng, he forgot to ask about his father.
If there is a chance in the future, I must inquire about the whereabouts of my father.
Beichen hated his father even more than himself.
This also shows that Dad is more dangerous than himself.
If there is a chance to help dad, I have to help him too.
While thinking, Shen Lian came to the corner.
I saw that this palace is really luxurious!
Even the corner of the wall is covered with gold bars.
It makes the corner here sparkle with gold.
Shen Lian took a careful look at this corner, and suddenly, he laughed.
I saw that there was a place in this corner where there were no gold bars.
And there, it was filled with a piece of jade.
A gentleman should not be disturbed by power and money.
But a gentleman should be as gentle as jade.
It was his mother's greatest wish for him to leave the gold and stay with the jade.
When you think about a gentleman, you warm him like jade.
Shen Lian touched the jade piece with his hand and saw that the gold bar was cold, but the jade was very warm.
He smiled and pressed lightly.
Then I saw this piece of jade falling directly.
And behind the jade, there is a letter.
"found it."
Shen Lian smiled softly.
Shen Lian took down the letter.
He glanced at the envelope.
I saw that the envelope was pure white, and there were two lines of words written on the envelope.
"To the best Shen Lian in the world."
And "If you are not Shen Lian and you dare to read this letter, I will curse your ancestors for eight generations."
Two lines of characters, beautiful handwriting.
Very clear.
Shen Lian watched for a moment, not knowing what to say.
He could only say that his mother was as tough as ever.
Shen Lian smiled, tore open the envelope and took out the letter inside.
Open the letter and look inside.
"My son, Xiao Lian."
"When you read this letter, it means that you already know who your mother is. I am very happy that you can find this letter."
