Six Hundred and Sixtieth Chapters Palace Secret Fortune

"The first emperor was wrong!"

As soon as Chen Dachang opened his mouth, he was shocked.

Rong Xin had already made preparations, but when he heard these words, his face still changed.

"How could the first emperor not be crowned rightly? Although the first emperor was not established as the crown prince, there was an imperial edict to inherit the throne. Succession to the throne is justified."

Chen Dachang laughed.

"You should have heard the rumor that Zhongzong's favorite seventeenth prince died of a serious illness."

Rong Xin nodded, he had indeed heard the rumor.

Anyone who works in the palace should have heard of this rumor.

Chen Dachang clutched his wound and gasped.

He took a few breaths before saying, "Do you really think that the seventeenth prince died of a serious illness? He was poisoned and died by someone."

"How is it possible?" Rong Xin was shocked.

Chen Dachang smiled triumphantly, "In this world, there is only one person in our family who is still alive and knows the truth. Do you dare to doubt what our family said?"

Rong Xin licked the corner of his mouth, "Eunuch Chen, don't scare me, I'm not scared too much."

Chen Dachang sneered, "Now that things have happened, do you think it is necessary for our family to lie to you?"

Rong Xin was silent.

Now that things have happened, it seems that Chen Dachang has no need to lie to him.

But this kind of thing, who can be sure.

He just kept in mind his wife's teaching that nothing is 100% perfect in the world.

He took a deep breath and said to Chen Dachang: "Don't worry, I will truthfully tell Madam every word you say."

Those who work in the palace have their own unique skills.

Chen Dachang's unique skill is to recognize people, as long as he has met once, he can still recognize people after many years.

And Rong Xin's ability lies in retelling.

As long as he wants to, he can repeat what he said when they met half a year ago without changing it.

At this moment, he was paying more attention than ever before, for fear of missing a single word, sentence, or expression.

He is in charge of memory, and Madam has to worry about distinguishing the true from the false.

Chen Dachang pointed to the kettle, "Give me a glass of water."

Rong Xin stood up and poured him a glass of water.

"Eunuch Chen, please drink some water."

Chen Dachang took two sips, "Are you wondering who poisoned the Seventeenth Prince?"

Rong Xin nodded.

Chen Dachang chuckled, "Our family doesn't know who killed the seventeenth prince. Many people doubt the late emperor, but our family can be sure that the late emperor did not poison the seventeenth prince.

It's just that Zhongzong believed that the first emperor had poisoned the seventeen princes, so he wanted to abolish the previous imperial edict.

The first emperor made a decisive decision and put Zhongzong under house arrest. Zhongzong was furious, picked up the Jade Seal of Chuan Kingdom and threw it at the late emperor's face. The Chuan Guo Yuxi brushed the late emperor's ear and fell to the ground with a corner missing. "

Rong Xin suddenly asked: "Have you seen it with your own eyes?"

Chen Dachang shook his head, "At that time, our family was just a small yellow family, with no power or power, so how could we have the qualifications to witness such a secret fortune. This is what my master said. My master is an old man beside the late emperor. Because my master Recommended, our family will come to serve the late Emperor later."

I see!

Rong Xin asked again: "Do you believe what your master said?"

Chen Dachang looked at Rong Xin with a half-smile, "What reason does my master lie to me? He could have said nothing and brought this matter into the coffin. But he did, and told our family the whole thing, then he will There is no reason to deceive our family."

Rong Xin could not refute.

Chen Dachang continued: "Zhongzong threw the jade seal and died of illness in less than half a month. A strange thing happened, and the Chuanguo jade seal disappeared.

The first emperor searched the Xingqing palace and the harem, but he couldn't find the jade seal of Chuanguo. Instead, they found a succession edict, which was issued ten days before Zhongzong's death. The name on it is not the first emperor, but the Seventeenth Prince. "

"The seventeenth prince is dead, why did Zhongzong appoint a dead man as the crown prince?"

Chen Dachang shook his head, "I don't know! My master didn't figure it out, and our family didn't figure it out either. I'm afraid I won't be able to find the answer to this question after I die."

"Where is the first emperor? Does the first emperor know the answer?" Rong Xin was very curious.

Chen Dachang nodded, then shook his head again, "Maybe I know, maybe I don't know. I heard from my master that after finding the imperial edict, the first emperor was furious, and started killing immediately after he ascended the throne. That edict was also burned by the first emperor himself. Exhausted."

Rong Xin frowned, "According to what you mean, the first emperor had a bad temper and would kill people every now and then, all because of that imperial edict?"

Chen Dachang stared at Rong Xin, "Do you know how Zhongzong scolded the first emperor? Calling him a traitor and traitor, causing harm to the country and the people, he would have died badly. If the first emperor hadn't controlled the imperial confinement in time and put Zhongzong under house arrest, the late emperor would have already been executed by Zhongzong."

Rong Xin licked his lips, his lips were dry.

Throats become hoarse.

He asked: "If the late emperor was executed, which prince would inherit the throne?"

Chen Dachang said casually: "Maybe it's the thirteenth prince, or the fourteenth prince. Whatever it is, it's pointless to talk about it now."

"Without the Jade Seal of Chuanguo, what should the late emperor do? Canonize the Jade Seal of the Kingdom, and the Jade Seal of Chuanguo must be missing."

"Hahaha……"

Chen Dachang laughed loudly, "If you have a chance, you go to the palace to look through the storeroom. In what year was Ruizhen conferred the title of Empress Cui? Do you remember? That's right, Ruizhen was conferred the title of Empress Cui in the second year of Kaiyao.

At that time, the first emperor had inherited the throne for two or three years, and any problems could not be solved by an emperor. At that time, there were rumors that the emperor and empress were at odds. In fact, it was all nonsense, all because of the disappearance of Chuanguo Yuxi, all kinds of awards had to be postponed. "

Rong Xin's whole body tensed up, "Is there no doubt?"

"Hahaha……'

Chen Dachang laughed reassuringly, "In just two or three years after taking the throne, the first emperor killed no less than a thousand officials. Let me ask, who has the guts to doubt it? At that time, many people said that the first emperor was busy cleaning the court and had no time to care about the harem. .

Later, when the court stabilized, the first emperor conferred Ruizhen Empress Cui immediately. The seal of the Jade Seal of Chuanguo was stamped on the imperial edict to enshrine the empress, so it cannot be faked. "

Rong Xin licked the corner of his own mouth, "Didn't you say that you searched the entire imperial palace, and even turned Xingqing Palace upside down, but couldn't find the Jade Seal of the Chuan Kingdom. How did the late emperor know that the Jade Seal of the Chuan Kingdom was buried with Zhongzong in the underground palace?" ?”

Chen Dachang let out a long breath, and calmed down his excited mood, "For a whole year, I dug out every corner and every brick in Xingqing Palace. I found two secret rooms, but I just didn't see them." The trace of Chuanguo Yuxi.

The people who served Zhongzong had been buried collectively on the day Zhongzong passed away, not even a single one was left alive. Obviously, Emperor Zhongzong had planned everything long ago. He just wanted to embarrass the first emperor and let the world know that the first emperor was wrong. The situation was dire. Fortunately..."

"Fortunately what?" Rong Xin asked eagerly.

Chen Dachang smiled, "Thanks to Mr. Gu, he helped the late emperor find out the whereabouts of the Chuanguo Yuxi at a critical moment. It turned out that after Zhongzong left the imperial edict of the 17th prince, he ordered people to bring the Chuanguo Yuxi, Secretly go to the imperial tomb.

At that time, the first emperor imposed a palace ban on the harem, and even a fly in the Xingqing Palace could not fly in, let alone someone sneaking out. But there was such a person, an inconspicuous insider, who secretly took the Chuanguo Yuxi out of Xingqing Palace while delivering food to Xingqing Palace.

This insider has a few friends of Lu Ziye in the capital, and it just so happens that Mr. Gu also knows a few friends of the insider. That's where the clue came from.

After determining the whereabouts of the Chuanguo Yuxi, the next step is to consider how to steal the Chuanguo Yuxi. It's a pity that at that time, the underground palace was completely sealed, and the best time to enter the underground palace was missed. Mr. Gu was ordered in danger, so he had to take people to the underground palace himself. Went there three times, all three times failed. "

Rong Xin asked nervously: "Master Gu knows how to rob graves?"

Chen Dachang shook his head, "Old man Gu doesn't know much about tomb robbery, but he is a connoisseur, any jewelry and jade articles placed in front of him, he can tell the authenticity from the fake with just a few glances.

Zhongzong was guarding against the first emperor, and the first emperor was guarding against Emperor Zhongzong. Fearing that Emperor Zhongzong would use a fake jade seal to deceive the world, so when going to the underground palace, he must be followed by Mr. Gu who can distinguish the authenticity from the fake.

And he found the clue, the fewer people who know about it, the better. Apart from Mr. Gu, there was no other person to lead the team down to the underground palace. It's a pity that the tomb robbers Mr. Gu found were too low-level. They went there three times and failed three times. "

Chen Dachang stared at Rong Xin, "Do you know that once the news spread that the late emperor sent people to steal Zhongzong's tomb, the late emperor would be accused by thousands of people, and he would not even be able to keep his throne. The clans would stand up and rebel collectively.

Therefore, it is necessary to steal Zhongzong's tomb without destroying the underground palace, so that no one can find any traces of tomb robbery. But tomb robbery, the more restrictions there are, the greater the possibility of failure. Sure enough, most of the people who went in died. Those who came out alive, except for Mr. Gu, were all executed one after another. "

Rong Xin was moody and short of breath.

He was obviously shocked by this secret.

He took a deep breath and asked, "I couldn't steal Zhongzong's tomb, so I copied the Chuanguo Yuxi?"

Chen Dachang nodded, then shook his head again.

He drank all the water in the glass, and after a long silence, he whispered again: "Do you know that Mr. Gu is not only a connoisseur, but also a master of counterfeiting. The counterfeit he made was taken to the antique shop and soaked in antiques for decades. All the old guys have been fooled by him, and they have been slapped."

Rong Xin was greatly surprised, and muttered: "At that time, Mr. Gu was not yet thirty years old."

Chen Dachang nodded, "It is indeed very young. However, Mr. Gu is very talented in this industry. The old guys who have been immersed in antiques for decades say that Mr. Gu was born to eat this bowl of rice. His talent in antiques is beyond a hundred years old. It's hard to see. However, he was born in the Marquis Mansion, so he is destined not to be able to identify antiques, he is only suitable to be a dandy who appreciates antiques."

Rong Xin couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "It's a pity!"

"What a pity! He created the most valuable counterfeit in the world, created a myth, and will be passed down from generation to generation. He is worth it in this life! The only pity is that he cannot be left in history."

When Chen Dachang said this, he couldn't help showing an envious expression.

On the other hand, Rong Xin was shocked and couldn't believe it, his whole body was trembling, "Eunuch Chen, what you mean is that the imperial jade seal in the palace is a fake made by Mr. Gu?"
