This is why Du Chuke was so nervous after hearing that the files had been burned.
After all, if such an important file is burned, it means that the past experience and lessons are gone, and everything has to start from scratch.
How much waste and loss will this cause?
With Li Shimin's temper, let alone scolding, he could be demoted and slapped with a ban.
Shen Lian read the content and touched the paper carefully.
The paper is yellow and dull, the pages are dry and slightly brittle, and everything contains traces of time.
This is consistent with the time of the dossier and is the true standard of how the paper should look.
Shen Lian put the files back and said, "How many files are there in total? Why did you choose these files to take away?"
When everyone heard this, they all looked at Han Xun.
Han Xun said: "There are a total of 275 volumes in the files. It took me more than a year to take them out, then I excerpted them myself, and then put them back."
"The reason why I chose these files is because when I was following Zhang Qin, I found that Zhang Qin would stop in front of the bookshelf of these files almost every time."
"Zhang Qin is very cautious. He does not come directly to the bookshelves of these volumes every time. Instead, he often goes to other bookshelves to stand and read for a while, and then finally comes to these bookshelves."
"Then, he will read these files very carefully, even reading them over and over again."
"I don't know what he is looking at, but I know that taking away all the files on this bookshelf will definitely not go wrong."
"So, I took them all away."
Shen Lian narrowed his eyes and said, "Your process lasted for more than a year, and Zhang Qin never found out?"
Han Xun said: "I must be very cautious. I start from the file in the corner. I will only replace it every time if there is something that can be replaced."
……………………
"And the paper I used and the writing position were as identical as possible to the original dossier. In addition, Zhang Qin was very familiar with the content. He hardly looked at the content carefully, so he didn't notice it."
Shen Lian's eyes flashed and he asked: "You said Zhang Qin didn't check the content carefully?"
Han Xun nodded: "He flipped through the book very quickly. He would never be able to read the entire content clearly if he flipped through the book at such a fast speed."
…………
Shen Lian looked at these files and thought quickly.
Zhang Qin and the fake Han Qian have been searching for the secrets in the files for ten years!
Ten years and more than two hundred files were enough for them to memorize their contents.
However, they still haven't found it.
Even later, I stopped reading the content...
Does this mean that the secret they are looking for has nothing to do with the contents of the dossier?
Or are there other reasons?
Shen Lian recalled what Mrs. Han said to him.
Before Han Qian was replaced, he was repairing some building and said he had discovered some terrible secret.
Then it was replaced!
So what kind of building did Han Qian repair?
Since it is a renovated building, there must be records of the previous construction of this building.
So, is this dossier among the dossiers in front of you?
Which one will it be?
Shen Lian looked at Du Chuke and said, "Master Du, there is something. I wonder if Master Du knows about it."
Du Chuke hurriedly said: "Master Shen, please speak."
Shen Lian said: "I heard that Han Qian was responsible for the repair work of a building before his temperament changed drastically ten years ago. The reason why he was later replaced by a traitor is most likely related to the repair of this building."
"So, I would like to know if Mr. Du knows... what kind of building Han Qian renovated ten years ago."
"this……"
Du Chuke frowned slightly and said, "To be honest with Mr. Shen, I did not come to work in the Ministry of Industry ten years ago. I was transferred to the Ministry of Industry five years ago."
"So I really don't know much about what happened ten years ago."
"But I can help Mr. Shen ask other veterans. They may know."
When Shen Lian heard this, he was about to nod.
Suddenly I heard a voice: "I know what building Han Qian renovated back then."
As soon as these words came out, Shen Lian looked suddenly.
The person speaking was none other than Han Xun.
"You know?"
Du Chuke asked hurriedly.
Han Xun nodded.
"I have been in the Ministry of Industry long enough and I know a lot about many things."
"And when Han Qian received the repair task, the task was originally supposed to be handed over to me, but because I had other tasks, I finally handed it over to Han Qian."
"Later, Han Qian once asked me for some advice. At that time, Han Qian was very humble and polite. I had a good impression of him. But soon after, Han Qian seemed to have turned his back on him and completely forgot about my feelings for him. It's the same as helping... This incident made me feel very uncomfortable, and I remember it deeply."
When Shen Lian heard Han Xun's words, his eyes lit up slightly.
This is really a search for him through hundreds of thousands of people!
He looked at Han Xun and said, "What building are you repairing?"
Han Xun didn't hesitate and said directly: "The Temple of Heaven in the Imperial Palace."
"Temple of Heaven?"
Shen trained her brain, and information about the Temple of Heaven quickly appeared.
The Temple of Heaven should be called an altar.
It is the place where emperors worship heaven in the palace.
But this altar is different from the altars outside.
For major events in the past, such as the annual spring plowing sacrifices, such as sacrifices during important seasons, emperors would go to the altar outside Chang'an City to perform such sacrifices.
Because these altars allow ordinary people to watch from a distance.
The purpose was naturally to let the people know that their emperor was very concerned about their affairs.
However, in addition to big things, there are also some small things that also require sacrifices.
For example, the emperor had a nightmare.
As the emperor, the emperor would think that their dreams were sometimes unusual. Therefore, after repeated nightmares, he would ask someone from the Ministry of Rites to have them calculated. After the Ministry of Rites completed the calculation, the emperor would go to the Temple of Heaven in the palace. , perform sacrifices.
Offer sacrifices to ancestors and gods.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! And these things are not suitable for the people to watch. After all, in the eyes of the people, this is just a nightmare. It is not worth such a sacrifice.
But for the emperor, they always feel that there are always unscrupulous people who want to harm me, so a dream is worthy of their attention.
The Temple of Heaven mentioned by Han Xun is such an altar.
Located in the southeast corner of the palace.
It has its own courtyard.
The door is usually locked.
Only the emperor will turn it on when he needs it!
Sometimes, it will be turned on frequently.
But sometimes, it doesn’t happen even once a year.
Shen Lian knew about the altar because when Li Shimin married him and Chang Le, after calculating the good days in the Ministry of Rites, he went there to offer sacrifices to the heavens and inform the gods and royal ancestors.
Therefore, he really knows some things about the Temple of Heaven, but he has never entered it.
After all, outsiders are not allowed to approach the royal sacrifice.
And he and Chang Le have not yet officially married, so they are not considered a family yet.
Shen Lian looked at Du Chuke and said, "Master Du, do you have the files on the Temple of Heaven?"
"have!"
Du Chuke knew what was at stake.
The thief obviously has some thoughts about the Temple of Heaven.
As for the Temple of Heaven, His Majesty often uses it.
Once something goes wrong, none of them will be able to escape.
So he didn't dare to delay, and quickly stepped forward. After searching for a while, his eyes lit up.
He directly pulled out a file and said: "Master Shen, this is it!"
Shen Lian took the file and looked up.
I saw that the construction of the Temple of Heaven was recorded in detail in the files.
On the title page, there is a basic introduction to the Temple of Heaven.
It states why the Temple of Heaven was built, why it was built like that, what construction method was used, etc.
Then, the following is the specific construction situation.
There are site maps.
There are materials for each layer.
Information such as who is responsible for the design and who is responsible for supervision.
The handwriting is clear and there are not many words, but it describes the things very clearly.
Anyone who is an insider of the Ministry of Industry can understand the meaning of each word at a glance.
Although he is not a technical staff member of the Ministry of Industry, he has a flexible mind and has been exposed to books on various aspects, so after a little thought, he understood the overall situation of the Temple of Heaven.
Even though he has not seen the Temple of Heaven with his own eyes, he already has the overall image of the Temple of Heaven in his mind.
Shen Lian nodded and said with emotion, "The files of your Ministry of Industry are worthy of study by other institutions. There is no nonsense and every word has its meaning. This will make the files very concise but not lacking any information."
Du Chuke smiled and said, "This is the result of our Ministry of Industry summarizing experience and learning from the files of the Ministry of Industry of the past dynasties."
"Because our files need to be read frequently later. If there are too many words, we will waste a lot of time looking for useful information."
"So, we summarized a set of recording methods to facilitate the use of future generations."
Shen Lian nodded, "I will also learn from Dali Temple in the future."
As he spoke, his brain began to think about the information in the file.
The records in the entire file are very normal.
Be it the personnel, the materials used, or the design.
At least Shen Lian didn't find any problems.
He looked at Du Chuke and said, "Master Du, come and take a look at this file and see... if there is anything you find strange."
Du Chuke heard this and quickly took the file.
After reading it carefully, he shook his head and said, "This file is very normal and conforms to our recording habits. I didn't notice anything wrong with any of the information on it."
Shen Lian squinted his eyes, but he didn't feel too surprised.
After all, Zhang Qin and the fake Han Qian had been searching for ten years. If the problem was discovered so easily, they would not have gained nothing in ten years.
Shen Lian pondered for a moment, then looked at Han Xun and said, "Master Han, do you still remember why you built the Temple of Heaven back then? What went wrong today?"
Han Xun thought about it for a moment and said, "The Temple of Heaven has been exposed to wind and rain for a long time. In addition, it is not used much and no one takes care of it. Some plants can push up the gaps on the ground, and there are also some cracks on the surface. The cracks... are not serious, and it should not be difficult to repair."
Shen Lian nodded slightly.
It doesn't sound like it's a big problem.
However, the construction of the Temple of Heaven will be the main reason for Han Qian to be replaced.
Then there must be problems here that they haven't discovered yet.
What did Han Qian discover at that time?
What secret was discovered during the repairs?!
Or should I say...
Did you discover a secret while reading the files?
But he also read the file and didn't notice any problems.
After Shen Lian pondered for a moment, he slowly let out a breath of turbid air.
"It seems that I have to go to the Temple of Heaven in person tomorrow."
If there is no problem with the file, then there may be a problem with the Temple of Heaven.
Therefore, Shen Lian must go and see the Temple of Heaven in person.
At this time, there was a sound of footsteps outside.
Lu Shisan strode over.
As soon as Zhao Yeqin saw Lu Shisan arriving, his breathing became tense. He hurriedly asked, "Master Lu, my family, they... how are they?!"
Du Chuke and others also looked at Lu Shisan.
Lu Shisan smiled and said, "Fortunately, we did not disgrace our orders. Although Zhang Qin's men are very cautious, they still have no power to fight back against our shadow guards."
"Master Zhao, don't worry. Your family has been rescued. I have sent them back to your house. You can see them when you return."
Hearing Lu Shisan's words, Zhao Yeqin was immediately excited.
He first bowed deeply to Lu Shisan, then quickly turned to Shen Lian and bowed again, "Sir Sir Shen, I cannot thank you enough for your kindness. If you have anything to do in the future, just give me your orders, no matter what I can do or not." If I can do it, I will work hard to do it.”
When Shen Lian heard this, he smiled and said, "Go home and spend time with your family. They need your company most at this time."
"As for repaying...if I really need your help in the future, I won't be polite."
