The predecessor who was scumbag by me was the emperor

Shen Jia carried the box all the way into the palace, and the number of Jin Yiwei and imperial guards accompanying him made him feel like he was holding the Jade Seal of Chuanguo, and he didn't dare to let go of his hand.

It wasn't until he entered the palace that he felt like a stone had fallen to the ground. When he entered the imperial study, Du Fucheng led his servants out consciously and closed the door. There were layers of guards outside the door. Almost fell.

He put the box on the table and said with emotion: "What kind of treasure is in here? This journey makes me feel like I am facing a big enemy. It's scary!"

Zhao Zhang wiped his face and hands with a handkerchief, poured him a cup of moderately warm tea, and then looked at the old box, "Ling Jingyun only said that he found something important, but I don't know what it is .”

"Open it and have a look." Shen Jia pushed Zhao Zhang aside and reached out to open the box, but Zhao Zhang stopped him, "I'll come, you go away!"

Shen Jia was pulled behind Zhao Zhang, and he picked up a brush to open the lid of the box. The two waited in silence for a while, and then leaned over after seeing nothing unusual.

"What is it?" There was only a blackened and moldy scroll in the box, Shen Jia didn't recognize it at a glance.

But Zhao Zhang said firmly: "It's an imperial decree." The material used in the imperial decree is special. He has seen it since he was a child, and he can recognize it even if it is burned to ashes.

"Imperial decree? How could there be this in the secret path?"

"I should ask, what is the content of the imperial decree that Ling Jingyun attaches so much importance to?" Zhao Zhang went to get a pair of ice silk gloves to put on, and then carefully took out the imperial decree.

Shen Jia tidied up the table and helped Zhao Zhang open the imperial decree. The outside may have been moldy because of dirt, but inside there were only some stains, and the handwriting was still very clear.

Shen Jia read the inscription first, and found that it turned out to be the imperial decree from 30 years ago. When she wanted to read the content again, the imperial decree was quickly snatched away by one hand.

"I haven't finished watching yet..." Shen Jia looked at Zhao Zhang, and saw that his face was shocked, his pupils shrank, and his lips were abnormally white.

He realized that the content of this imperial decree must not be simple, so he took a step back and said, "Why don't we burn it? Only you and Ling Jingyun should have seen it."

Zhao Zhang was stunned for a while, then glanced down at the thing in his hand, then threw it back on the table, clapped his hands: "It's okay, look, it's all in the past."

Seeing that he didn't look embarrassed, Shen Jia reopened the imperial decree and scanned it again, her expression was a little surprised, but she didn't feel very surprised.

When the first emperor was in power, he heard a secret story from his teacher, which was accidentally revealed by the teacher when he was drunk. Everyone is a devil, usually dressed in human skin, but when it comes time to fight for the throne, they show their ugliest side, such a disgusting place, even if my future is ruined, this old man will not take a step..."

The first emperor was ranked ninth, he was considered the most inconspicuous among the brothers, but he was the one who won in the end, not only surprised the civil and military of the Manchu Dynasty, but also spread various legends among the people.

The most widely circulated news at that time was: the old emperor originally wanted to pass on the throne to the most favored seventh prince. For this reason, he beheaded the prince before his death and imprisoned three adult princes. He even wrote the imperial edict. It's a pity that in the end, for unknown reasons, the Seventh Prince was hacked to death by the crazy empress, and the throne became the target of the remaining princes' competition. At that time, no one expected that the Ninth Prince would win in the end.

And the imperial decree in this box was an edict to pass the throne to the Seventh Prince, but Shen Jia always thought that this matter was a legend, or that this thing had been destroyed long ago.

"Let's burn it, so as not to cause trouble." Shen Jia suggested.

Zhao Zhang had already sat down on the dragon chair, looking a bit decadent, as if he was recalling the past.

Shen Jia wiped her hands and walked over to hug him, "Don't think too much, it's all the grievances of the previous generation, the winner is the king and the loser is the bandit, there is nothing to say."

Zhao Zhang held his hand and pressed it to his face, and said in a low voice: "I know, just thinking about this road to heaven, my hands are also covered with blood, even if this decree is true, death is like a lamp Extinct, it is useless."

"Tell me, why did this thing appear in that secret path? I heard that there is also a treasure house. Could it be that the descendants of the seventh prince hid the treasure and imperial decree there, preparing to make a comeback?"

"In recent years, there have been people who have been secretly fighting against the imperial court. Jin Yiwei has found the other party several times, but they either failed to catch it or it was just a corpse. Because the scale is small, I didn't take it too seriously. It has always been indispensable in the past dynasties. Some naive and stupid people, when the Seventh Prince died, only one son was left behind. Some people said that his palace fell into a sudden fire, and no one escaped. , can the royal family still rectify his name?"

"It's been a long time, as long as you are not stupid, no one will find someone who came out of nowhere to be the king."

"It's not necessarily stupid, I'm afraid they are too smart." Zhao Zhang glanced at the imperial decree on the table, picked it up and threw it into the brazier. The silk cloth was damp, and thick black smoke rose instantly, and it took a while to burn it stand up.

"How about the secret passage?" Shen Jia went to open the window to let the air in the room circulate.

"Just do what you want after the inspection, this is the business of your Ministry of Industry."

While talking, the first batch of treasures had already been transported into the palace. It is said that countless people gathered along the way to watch. Unfortunately, the cars were covered with tarpaulins, so they couldn't see anything.

"Haha, I heard that these treasures were found under the north of the city. Those poor ghosts, sitting on the golden mountain and not knowing it, deserve to be poor for a few lifetimes!" Some unkind people laughed.

"It's fate. I heard that Mr. Shen from the Ministry of Industry discovered it. He is the one who runs the newspaper and the donkey cart. I heard that he is the God of Wealth, but I didn't expect it to be true."

"I heard that that piece of land is going to be built into some kind of business district, and it can make a lot of money after it is completed. I don't know if we can follow suit by then."

Shen Jia watched the box after box of things being carried into the warehouse, and also took a notebook to help count them. These treasures are temporarily in the emperor's private treasury, and the emperor will decide to distribute them after the inventory is completed and the truth is found out.

"Look, these jade and gold wares are all engraved with the seal of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. They must be things that flowed out of the palace."

"There are also official seals on the gold and silver ingots..."

Shen Jia saw a jade bone fan, which was of high quality. When he unfolded it, he found that the fan was a masterpiece of a great painter in the previous dynasty, and it was well preserved. There was a flower-shaped jade pendant hanging on the handle of the fan. imprint.

He was even more sure that this treasure house was left by the Seventh Prince back then, but why did he keep it in the secret passage without taking it away?

The first guess is that maybe the situation was chaotic at that time, and some people suspected that the descendants of the Seventh Prince were not dead, and they had been secretly investigating, so that group of people had to leave a large number of treasures and leave Beijing for refuge.

It was not so easy to come back after this walk, and no one found the secret road until the secret road was dug in the north of the city.

The second guess is that maybe the descendants of that year were really dead. These treasures were transferred out by the Seventh Prince in advance. He should have expected that someone would be a ghost secretly and wanted to preserve his strength first. In the end, he died unexpectedly and his descendants were also buried in the sea of ​​flames. Knowing that The people who belonged to this batch of treasures may all be dead, leaving them buried in secret passages.

It was not until dark that all the treasures were transported into the palace. Ling Jingyun also came and talked with the emperor for a long time in the imperial study.

After registering the last box of things, Shen Jia threw the ledger to the waiter, rubbed her wrists and went to the imperial study to find someone.

Ling Jingyun was not surprised to see him at all, and congratulated him: "It is all thanks to Lord Shen that such a large amount of property can be recovered this time!"

"Just luck."

Seeing him turning into the back hall, Ling Jingyun hurriedly lowered his head, and talked to the emperor about the serious matter, "This matter is too big, and now there are rumors and speculations among the common people, I wonder if the emperor has any instructions?"

Zhao Zhang took a pen and wrote an imperial edict, and asked him to hand it over to Cao Ruiwen tomorrow to post it in the streets and alleys, explaining the origin of this batch of property, nine points were true and one point was false.

"You only said that the box was an extremely important seal to the outside world. I don't want a fourth person to know about it."

Ling Jingyun agreed, thinking: Even if a fourth person knows, it may not be me who spread the word, right?The emperor let Shen Jia know about such an important matter, it's really unexpected.

"These days, there is bound to be a boom in treasure hunting in the city, and I don't want them to dig pots and holes in their front streets and backyards. As for the construction in the north of the city as usual, I don't want to see a hundred Jinyi guards patrolling. Until Shen Aiqing gets a little hurt!"

It was about Shen Jia's safety, Ling Jingyun didn't dare to be careless, Gao Xun who died before was the best proof, he hurriedly swore: "I will definitely protect Master Shen!"

Shen Jia felt that this matter had little to do with him. If there was a chaotic party, the veterans left behind by the late emperor should be approached the most. Only they remembered how glorious the Seventh Prince was.

Shen Jia summed up the ledger overnight, and the figures obtained made people laugh out of their dreams, it was a windfall.

He said to Zhao Zhang: "How favored is this Seventh Prince? If these are all his private property, it's no wonder he died unexpectedly."

"It's roughly equivalent to your status in Shen's residence."

"What? I'm the only son in the family."

"In the eyes of the imperial grandfather, the Seventh Prince is his only son, and the rest are worthless."

"Tsk tsk, no wonder the Seventh Prince died, it's all because of his father's entrapment."

"Having said that, who wouldn't want to enjoy the emperor's favor?" Zhao Zhang leaned over and looked at his profile.

Shen Jia pushed his head away, put her fingers on his lips, and said in a low voice, "That's because your imperial grandfather was too partial. A bowl of water was unevenly poured on one son, wouldn't it be a fire?"

"Nowadays, all the civil and military men in the court know that I only dote on you. Is it also true?"

"Probably." Shen Jia can clearly feel that since he entered the Ministry of Industry, there have been more and more courtiers who have opposed him in the court. They may have drank together in the past, but now they hide their swords behind their smiles.
