Chapter 663: Palace secret

"The first emperor is wrong!"
When Chen Dachang spoke, he was shocked.
Rong Xin had already prepared, but when he heard these words, his face changed.
"How could the first emperor get the throne wrong? Although the first emperor was not established as a prince, he still has an edict on the throne. Inheriting the throne is justified."
Chen Dachang laughed.
"You should have heard the rumor that the seventeenth prince Zhongzong's favorite was seriously ill and died."
Rong Xin nodded, he had indeed heard this rumor.
Anyone who works in the palace should have heard of this rumor.
Chen Dachang took a breath while covering his wound.
He took a few breaths before saying: "Do you really think that the 17th prince was seriously ill? He was poisoned and killed by others."
"How is it possible?" Rong Xin looked shocked.
Chen Dachang smiled triumphantly, "In this world, the only person in this world who is still alive and knows the truth is our family. Do you dare to doubt what our family says?"
Rong Xin licked the corner of his mouth, "Daddy Chen, don't scare me, I'm not scared."
Chen Dachang snorted, "As things are up to now, do you think it is necessary for our family to lie to you?"
Rong Xin was silent.
Now, Chen Dachang does not seem to have the need to lie to him.
But this kind of thing, who can be sure.
He just kept his wife's teachings in mind, there is no 100% thing 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 meets once, he can still recognize him after many years.
Rong Xin's skill lies in retelling.
As long as he has the heart, he can repeat what he said when he met half a year ago without changing a word.
At this moment, he has never been more attentive, afraid of missing a word and an expression.
He is responsible for memory, and his wife has to worry about distinguishing true from false.
Chen Dachang pointed to the kettle, "Give me a glass of water."
Rong Xin got up and poured him a glass of water.
"Duke Chen, please drink water."
Chen Dachang took two sips, "Are you thinking, who poisoned the 17th prince to death?"
Rong Xin nodded.
Chen Dachang laughed, "We don't know who killed the 17th prince. Many people doubt the first emperor, but our family can be sure that the first emperor did not poison the 17th prince.
Only Zhongzong determined that the first emperor poisoned the seventeen princes and wanted to abolish the previous edict.
Emperor Xian made a decisive decision and placed Zhongzong under house arrest. Zhongzong was furious and took the Jade Seal of Chuanguo and smashed it towards the front door of the first emperor. The Jade Seal of Chuanguo wiped the ear of the first emperor and fell on the ground, missing a corner. "
Rong Xin suddenly asked, "Did you see it with your own eyes?"
Chen Dachang shook his head, "At that time, our family was just a little yellow sect, without power and influence. How could we have the right to witness such a secret fortune. This is all from my master. My master is an old man by Xiandi. Because of my master. I recommend that our family will only be able to serve the Emperor Xian later."
That's it!
Rong Xin asked again: "Do you believe what your master said?"
Chen Dachang looked at Rong Xin with a faint smile, "What reason does my master lie to me? He could say nothing and bring the matter into the coffin. But he said, he told us the whole thing, then he There is no reason to deceive our family."
Rong Xin could not refute.
Chen Dachang continued: "Zhongzong fell the Yuxi seal, and died of illness within half a month. A strange thing happened, and the Chuanguo Yuxi disappeared.
The Emperor Xian searched the Xingqing Palace and the harem, but did not find the Chuanguo Yuxi. On the contrary, he found an edict on his position, which was established ten days before Zhong Zong died. The name above is not the first emperor, but the seventeenth prince. "
"The 17th prince is dead, why did Zhong Zong make a dead man as the 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. I'm afraid I won't find the answer to this question when I die."
"What about Emperor Xian? Does Emperor Xian know the answer?" Rong Xin was too curious.
Chen Dachang nodded, and shook his head, "Maybe I know, maybe I don't know. I heard my master say that after finding the edict, the first emperor was furious, and he started to kill as soon as he became a throne. That edict was also burned by the first emperor himself. Exhausted."
Rong Xin frowned, "According to you, the first emperor had a grumpy temper and killed people at every turn, all because of that edict?"
Chen Dachang stared at Rong Xin, "Do you know how Zhongzong scolded the first emperor? He was called a chaotic courtier and thief, causing harm to the country and the people, and would not die. If the first emperor had not controlled the palace in time and put Zhongzong under house arrest, the first emperor would have been executed by Zhongzong."
Rong Xin licked his lips, his lips became dry.
The throat became dull.
He asked: "If the first emperor was put to death, which prince would inherit the throne?"
Chen Dachang said casually: "It may be the thirteenth prince, or the fourteenth prince. Whichever one, it doesn't make sense to say this now."
"If there is no national jade seal, what will the first emperor do? Canonization of the queen, can not be without the national jade seal."
"Hahaha..."
Chen Dachang laughed out loud, "If you have a chance, you can go to the palace and look through the warehouse. In what year was the queen Ruizhen Cui canonized? Do you remember? That's right, the queen Ruizhen Cui was canonized for the second year.
At that time, the first emperor had inherited the throne for two or three years, and there were any problems that one emperor could not solve. At that time, there were rumors that the emperor and queen were at odds. In fact, it was all nonsense, all because of the disappearance of the Jade Seal of the Chuan Kingdom, all kinds of rewards had to be postponed. "
Rong Xin's body tightened, "Couldn't anyone doubt it?"
"Hahaha...'
Chen Dachang laughed at ease, "The first emperor has killed no more than a thousand officials within two or three years of his succession. Who has the courage to doubt? At that time, many people said that the first emperor was busy cleaning the court and had no time to take care of the harem. .
Later, when the court calmed down, the first emperor immediately canonized Empress Ruizhen Cui. The seal of the jade seal of the country is stamped on the edict that enshrines the queen and cannot be faked. "
Rong Xin licked the corners of his mouth, "You didn't mean to search the entire palace, even if you turned the Xingqing Palace upside down, you couldn't find the Jade Seal of the Chuan Kingdom. How did the first emperor know that the jade seal of the Chuan Kingdom was buried in the underground palace for the Zhongzong ?"
Chen Dachang let out a sigh of relief, calming his excitement, "For a whole year, I have searched every corner and every brick in Xingqing Palace. I found two of them in the secret room, but I didn't see them. The trace of the jade seal of the country.
The people who served Zhongzong were sacrificed collectively on the day Zhongzong passed away, and they did not even leave a living. Obviously, Emperor Zhongzong had planned everything a long time ago. He just wanted to embarrass the first emperor and let the world know that the first emperor was wrong. The situation was very severe at the time. Fortunately..."
"Fortunately what?" Rong Xin asked eagerly.
Chen Dachang smiled, "Thanks to the old man, he helped the first emperor find out the whereabouts of the jade seal of the Chuanguo at a critical moment. It turns out that after Zhongzong left the edict of the seventeenth prince, he ordered people to bring the jade seal of the Chuanguo. Secret to the imperial tomb.
At that time, the Emperor Xian imposed a palace ban on the harem, and even a fly in 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 when he was delivering meals to Xingqing Palace.
This insider had a few friends in the capital, and it happened that Mr. Gu also knew a few friends of the insider. This is how the clues come.
After confirming the whereabouts of the Chuanguo Yuxi, the next step is to consider how to steal the Chuanguo Yuxi. Unfortunately, at that time, the underground palace was completely closed, and the best time to enter the underground palace was missed. Elder Gu was ordered to go to the underground palace with someone in person. Went three times, and all three times came home. "
Rong Xin asked nervously, "Master Gu knows about tomb robbery?"
Chen Dachang shook his head, "Old man Gu doesn't understand tomb robbery, but he is appreciating everyone. Put any jewels and jade in front of him, and he can tell the authenticity by just a few glances.
Zhongzong guards against the first emperor, and the first emperor guards against the Zhongzong emperor. Fearing that Emperor Zhongzong would use fake jade seals to hide from the sky, he must be accompanied by Mr. Gu who can distinguish the authenticity when going to the underground palace.
And he found the clue, the less people know about it, the better. Except for Mr. Gu, there was no other person to lead the underground palace. It's a pity that the tomb thief that Mr. Gu found was too good. After going there three times, he failed three times. "
Chen Dachang stared at Rong Xin, "Do you know that once the news that the first emperor sent someone to steal the tomb of Zhongzong spreads, the first emperor will be accused by thousands of people, and even the throne will not be kept. The clan will come forward to rebel.
Therefore, it is necessary to steal the tomb of Zhongzong, but not to destroy the underground palace, and not to let people find any traces of the tomb. But tomb robbery, the more restrictions, the greater the probability of failure. Sure enough, most of those who entered were dead. Except for Mr. Gu, everyone else who came out alive was also executed one after another. "
Let your confidence fluctuate and breathe shortly.
He was obviously shocked by this secret fortune.
He took a deep breath and asked, "I can't steal the tomb of Zhongzong, so I copied the Chuanguo Yuxi?"
Chen Dachang nodded, then shook his head again.
He drank all the water in the cup and was silent for a long time before whispering again: "Do you know that Grandpa Gu is not only an appreciation of everyone, but also a master of counterfeiting. The counterfeit he made was obtained from the antique studio and he was soaked in antiques for decades. The old guys have been fooled by him and slapped his eyes."
Rong Xin was surprised, and muttered: "At that time, Mr. Gu was less than thirty years old."
Chen Dachang nodded, "It is indeed very young. However, Mr. Gu is very talented in this industry. 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 has lasted for a century. It's hard to see. However, he was born in the Hou Mansion and was destined to not be able to identify antiques. He is only suitable for being a dude who appreciates antiques."
Rong Xin couldn't help but sighed: "It's a pity!"
"What a pity! He created the most valuable fake in the world, created a myth, and passed it on from generation to generation. He is worth it in this life! The only pity is that he can't keep his name in history."
When Chen Dachang said this, he couldn't help showing an expression of envy.
Rong Xin looked shocked and couldn't believe it. He was trembling all over, "Duke Chen meant that the jade seal of the palace in the palace was a fake imitation of Mr. Gu?"
