Chapter 778: The locked gold building

Although he said the night before that he would wait until King Nanli came to make a decision, but the next day, Nan Yan went out with Ran Xiaoyu after the imperial doctor gave himself a pulse and confirmed that he was in good health.
Of course, it is not the gate of the Jinlou Garden.
They just left Yishoutang and strolled around in this Bieyuan.
After walking around, Nan Yan found out that this Bieyuan was so big that there was even a pasture behind their wing, separated by a wall.
I only blame myself for not thinking about it at that time. I can only accompany my grandmother in the wing every day, so I don't know anything about the big house.
After walking out for a while, the two of them seemed to be lost.
Don't know where to go.
Ran Xiaoyu supported her and said, "Manny, where are we going?"
"I don't know," Nan Yan thought for a while, recalling that the only time he walked freely in that mansion was the time when the old grandmother suddenly became ill and confused. She ran out while she was sleeping, and she followed out. Look for her.
At that time, it seemed to have walked into the garden.
She said, "Let's go and take a look at the garden."
Ran Xiaoyu nodded, looked around, pointing to one side and said: "It seems to be there."
"Let's go."
The two went over there.
Because they are really unfamiliar with this place, although it is not a long way, the two of them still walked around for a while before finally reaching the door of the garden.
Nan Yan saw a building standing in the middle of the garden from a distance, and his eyes widened slightly.
"That's the one!"
Ran Xiaoyu hurriedly said: "What?"
Nan Yan pointed to the front and said softly: "At that time, I seemed to have seen a pavilion in the middle of the garden over there."
Ran Xiaoyu said, "Then let's go and take a look."
As a result, the two hurried to the front.
This garden is also very large, with many rockery and flowerbeds in the middle, dividing the road into a winding path after another.
The two walked for a while, and finally arrived in front of the pavilion.
However, he was taken aback.
Upon closer inspection, I realized that it turned out to be a three-story building.
Although there are only three floors, it occupies a relatively large area. On the first floor is an open room. There are eight doors on the north and south sides, all of which are open, making it bright and spacious.
Probably because there is no one to use, the tables and chairs are all put away, and the place against the wall on both sides is the inclined ladder upstairs.
The second floor is also an open house.
When the doors and windows on the upper and lower floors are open, they are transparent on all sides, looking like a pavilion from a distance.
The third floor is the smallest.
However, the doors and windows are closed tightly, and I don't know what it looks like.
And on the gate on the first floor, there is a golden lacquer plaque with two large characters on it
Golden House.
Nan Yan murmured, "Golden Tower?"
While thinking righteously, a somewhat familiar voice came from behind: "What is the imperial concubine looking at?"
Nan Yan hurriedly turned around and saw Cheng Guogong Wu Yingqi slowly walking up.
Behind him was his son Wu Ding and an entourage, but because they saw her, Wu Ding and the entourage stayed not far away and only saluted her.
Naturally to avoid suspicion.
Only Grandpa Cheng came forward and bowed to her: "Meet the concubine empress."
Nan Yan also nodded: "Guo Duke."
Although in the past, she was very cautious with the Wu family, but now she has reached the Wu family's territory, but she is much more calm.
She smiled and said: "It's nothing. I was idle today without incident. I thought of walking around in the garden, and I saw this-the golden building."
She looked at Wu Yingqiu and said, "Is this the Golden Tower in the Golden House?"
"Yes, it's the golden building of Jinlou Garden."
Nan Yan frowned slightly.
The whole building has nothing to do with Jin.
Wu Yingqiu seemed to see what she was thinking, and said: "The imperial concubine must be thinking, this building has nothing to do with Jin, so why is it called Jinlou."
Nan Yan nodded.
Wu Ying begged: "This villa was originally the ancestral house in the old official's house. Because Emperor Gao was going to visit Crane City, he dedicated this ancestral house as the palace of Emperor Gao."
"..."
"Emperor Gao certainly didn't want to make the old officials suffer, so he rewarded a lot of things as compensation."
"..."
"And the veteran took one of the gold ingots."
He said, pointing to the third floor: "Now, it is enshrined on the third floor."
Nan Yan suddenly realized: "Oh, so, it's called Jinlou."
"Not bad."
For some reason, Nan Yan felt a little emotional when he heard this story.
It can be seen that Wu Yingqiu had a great friendship with Emperor Gao.
That little gold ingot was stored upstairs, probably the friendship between their monarchs and ministers.
It's just that, once the emperor and the courtier.
There was such a close relationship between Wu Yingqiu and Emperor Gao, but now, when he is serving Zhu Feng, he still inevitably has to plan, and Zhu Feng cannot completely trust him.
Is there anyone beside Zhu Feng who can be trusted?
Nan Yan thought for a while and said, "Then, can I go up and have a look?"
Wu Yingqiu glanced up, then smiled: "This, I'm afraid it won't work."
"..."
Nan Yan was taken aback.
It stands to reason that this place is the royal palace, where the imperial concubine is going, in fact, he doesn't need to ask him, and he has no right to refuse.
The question I just asked was just a polite way of saying.
Unexpectedly, he was really rejected.
Behind him, Ran Xiaoyu frowned. Just as he was about to say something, Wu Ying asked, "Don't blame the concubine empress, it's not that the old minister refused to let the empress go up, but the third floor is locked."
"Locked? Who locked it?"
"High Emperor."
"High Emperor?"
Why did he lock this place?
Wu Yingqiu said: "Because there is one more thing on this, which was bestowed by the emperor Gao to the veterans. Naturally, the things bestowed by the emperor should be properly enshrined."
"Oh, then, what did Emperor Gao bestow on the grandfather?"
"This, the old minister doesn't know either."
"..."
Nan Yan was taken aback again, looking at him in surprise.
Since it was given to him, how could he not know?
Wu Yingqiu saw Nan Yan’s surprised gaze, and hurriedly smiled:
The imperial concubine empress must not think that the old minister is deceiving the empress. The old minister does not know what the emperor's gift is. He just gave it to the old minister, but let people Put it directly on the third floor."
Nanyan Road: "With the gold ingot?"
"Not bad."
Wu Ying begged: "After putting it up, this building was locked up."
"..."
"Veteran, no one dare to open the third floor."
"..."
"So for so many years, we don't know what the high emperor's gift is really."
