Chapter 663 (2/2)

”Why did Zhongzong set up a dead man to be a prince when the seventeen Prince died?”

Chen Dachang shook his head, ”I don't know! My master didn't understand, neither did my family. I'm afraid I can't find the answer to this question when I die. ”

”What about the late emperor? Did the emperor know the answer? ” Rongxin is too curious.

Chen Dachang nodded and shook his head, ”maybe I know, maybe I don't know. According to my master, after finding the imperial edict, the first emperor was very angry and killed as soon as he ascended the throne. The imperial edict was burned by the Emperor himself. ”

Rongxin frowned, ”according to your meaning, the emperor was irritable and often wanted people's lives because of the imperial edict?”

Chen Dachang stared at Rongxin, ”do you know how Zhongzong scolded the emperor? He was accused of being a disorderly official and a thief, and he was a disaster to the country and the people. If the emperor had not controlled the palace arrest in time and put Zhongzong under house arrest, the former Emperor would have been executed by Zhongzong

Rongxin licked his lips and his lips were dry.

The throat became hoarse.

He asked, ”if the first emperor was executed, which Prince would inherit the throne?”Chen Dachang said casually: ”it may be the thirteenth prince or the fourteenth prince. Any one of them is meaningless now

”Without the imperial seal, what should the late emperor do? If you want to be a queen, you can't miss the imperial jade seal. ”

”Ha ha ha...”

Chen Dachang burst out laughing, ”when you have the chance to go to the palace to turn over the storehouse and confer the title of empress Ruizhen Cui in which year? Do you remember? Yes, the title of empress Ruizhen Cui is in kaiyao for two years.

At that time, the first emperor had inherited the throne for two or three years. One emperor could not solve any problems. At that time, it was rumored that the emperor and empress were at odds. In fact, it's all nonsense. Because the imperial seal has disappeared, all kinds of rewards have to be postponed. ”

”Let letter whole body hair tight,” is no one doubt

”Ha ha ha ”

Chen Dachang laughed at ease,” the first emperor killed no less than a thousand officials in just two or three years. Who has the courage to doubt? At that time, many people said that the late emperor was busy cleaning the court and had no time to take care of the harem.

Later, when the imperial court stabilized, the first emperor Rongxin licked the corner of his mouth, ”you don't mean to search the whole palace, or even turn over the Xingqing palace, but you can't find the imperial seal. Later, how did the emperor know that the imperial seal was buried with Zhongzong in the underground palace? ”

Chen Dachang took a breath and calmed his excited mood. ”For a whole year, I have searched every corner and brick of Xingqing palace. Two rooms were found in the secret room, but there was no sign of the imperial seal.

On the day of Zhongzong's death, the people who served Zhongzong had been buried collectively, and there was not a living person left. Obviously, Emperor Zhongzong had planned everything for a long time. He wanted to embarrass the former Emperor and let the world know that the former Emperor was not in the right position. The situation was very serious. Fortunately... ”

”Fortunately what?” Rongxin asked eagerly.

Chen Dachang chuckled. ”Fortunately, master Gu helped the late emperor find out the whereabouts of the imperial seal at the critical moment. It turns out that after leaving the imperial edict to pass on the throne to the 17th prince, Zhongzong ordered people to go to the imperial tomb secretly with the imperial seal.

At that time, the first emperor imposed a palace ban on the Hougong, and the people in Xingqing palace couldn't even fly in, let alone someone sneak out. But there was such a man, a humble inner visitor, who secretly took the imperial seal out of Xingqing palace when he delivered food to the palace.

The visitor had several friends in the capital, who happened to know a few of his friends. That's how the clues come from.

After confirming the whereabouts of the imperial seal, the next step is to consider how to steal it. Unfortunately, at that time, the underground palace had been completely closed, and the best time to enter the underground palace was missed. Gu was ordered to go to the underground palace in person. I went there three times, and all of them failed. ”

Rong Xin asked nervously, ”do you know how to steal a tomb?”

Chen Dachang shook his head. ”Mr. Gu doesn't know how to steal tombs, but he is a connoisseur. If you put any jewels and jades in front of him, you can tell the truth from the false.

Zhongzong was on guard against the former Emperor, and the former Emperor was not on guard against the emperor Zhongzong. He was afraid that emperor Zhongzong would use a fake jade seal to hide the truth from the sea. Therefore, if you go to the underground palace, you must have Mr. Gu who can identify the authenticity.

And the clue is that he found it. The less people know about it, the better. In addition to Gu Laozi, there is no second person to lead the team to the underground palace. It's a pity that the level of the grave robbers Mr. Gu found is too low. He went there three times and failed three times. ”

Chen Dachang stares at Rongxin, ”do you know that once the news of the former Emperor sending someone to steal Zhongzong's tomb is spread out, the former Emperor will be accused by thousands of people, and even his throne will not be preserved. The clans will collectively stand up and rebel.

Therefore, we should not only steal Zhongzong's tomb, but also not destroy the underground palace. We should not let people find any traces of tomb theft. However, the more restrictions on Tomb theft, the greater the possibility of failure. Sure enough, most of the people who went in died. The people who came out alive, in addition to Mr. Gu, were all executed one after another. ”

Rongxin's mood fluctuates and shortness of breath.

He was obviously shocked by the secret.

He took a deep breath and asked, ”you can't steal Zhongzong's tomb, so you copy the imperial jade seal?”

Chen Dachang nodded and then shook his head.

After drinking all the water in the cup, he was silent for a long time, and then he said quietly again: ”do you know that Gu is not only a connoisseur, but also a master of counterfeiting. The forgeries he made, the antiques he took to the Curio studio, and the old guys who had been immersed in the antiques for decades had been cheated by him, and they were all in the eye. ”

Rong Xin was surprised and muttered: ”at that time, Gu was not even thirty years old.”

Chen Dachang nodded. However, Mr. Gu is gifted in this industry. People who have been steeped in antiques for decades say that he was born to eat this bowl of rice. His talent in antiques is rare for a hundred years. However, he was born in Hou's residence and was destined to be unable to identify antiques. He was only suitable for being a dandy who enjoyed antiques. ”

Rong Xin couldn't help feeling: ”it's a pity!”

”What a pity! He made the most valuable forgery in the world, created a myth, and passed it on from generation to generation. He's worth his life! The only pity is that he can't keep his name in history. ”When Chen Dachang said this, he could not help showing his envious expression.

Rong Xin was shocked, unable to believe it, and trembled all over his body. ”Does Mr. Chen mean that the imperial jade seal in the palace is a forgery copied by Mr. Gu?”
