Chapter 1953 Yan Mansion!

The status of kings is special, and the records about them are very important and cannot be lost. It can be said that the history of the Middle-earth China is based on the series of kings one after another.

The record of the king's behavior is even more important. Even when the king goes to the bridal chamber, there are special eunuchs to record it outside. One can imagine how stringent the records in this area are.

But now, the Holy Emperor, as the eternal emperor of the entire Middle-earth China and the most outstanding king in the history of the Tang Dynasty, actually lacks important information before he ascended the throne. This is simply unbelievable.

Wang Chong looked at Xu Qiqin subconsciously, and both of them saw shock in each other's eyes.

"No wonder Mr. Yao is secretive and cryptic. It seems that this is what he is talking about?"

Xu Qiqin is dressed in a white dress, like a fairy, with clear and intelligent eyes.

In the Sifang Pavilion, Mr. Yao had been hinting that he wanted Wang Chong to search the palace books from decades ago. At that time, the two of them didn't quite understand, but at this moment, it seems that the most suspicious thing is the historical records of the Holy Emperor.

"The classics in the palace are different from the records of historians. Even historians cannot violate the rules. Moreover, the historical materials in the palace are extremely special. Not only are they recorded by dedicated personnel, but they are also guarded by the imperial army. It is difficult for outsiders to enter. Moreover, once recorded, even the ministers of the court can't. They have no right to read or delete. Now, at least more than ten volumes of historical materials about the Holy Emperor have disappeared, which is absolutely not normal!"

Wang Chong frowned, his expression solemn.

"The question is why, and who can do this!"

Xu Qiqin frowned lightly and continued.

The compilation of the king's records has nothing to do with the court or party struggles, and they are all data from decades ago. Who would go out of their way to steal or destroy these data?

Moreover, why are all the materials of Emperor Gaozu, Taizong, Emperor Gaozong and others preserved intact, but only the information of the Holy Emperor is missing?

More importantly, in light of the recent series of abnormal behaviors in the palace of the Holy Emperor, what exactly is the old man of the Yao family hinting at?

At this moment, many thoughts flashed through their minds.

At present, the great changes in the Tang Dynasty and the palace are becoming increasingly difficult to understand.

Before this, the two of them never thought that all this would lead to more than thirty years ago, let alone that the historical materials of the Holy Emperor would disappear.

Destroying important historical documents in the palace is a capital offense. Who has the courage to do such a thing?

Heavy fog surged in, and several people in the hall fell silent.

"Although I don't know what secrets are hidden in these missing palace books, but if we just look for information from more than thirty years ago, there is actually another way!"

Xu Qiqin thought for a moment and suddenly raised her head.

Wang Chong nodded, and the two of them said a name at the same time——

"Yan Mansion".

The historical records and books in the palace mainly record the words, deeds and actions of the princes and princesses in the palace, including their homework, teachers, and the exchanges between them and the king.

Of course, it also includes the king’s daily life, every word and action.

Because many of these events took place in the palace, historians are unable to obtain them.

However, as long as the princes and princesses went out of the palace to participate in affairs both inside and outside the court, and had interactions with other princes and children in the capital, historians could still obtain relevant information and record it one by one, but it was just different from what was done in the palace.

Capital, Yan Mansion.

In the Tang Dynasty, there were many people who had not heard of some princes and princes, but there were very few people who had not heard of Taishi Lingyan's family.

Although Wang Chong grew up in Beijing and stayed there for more than ten years, this was the first time he visited the Yan family's residence.

The reason is very simple. In Beijing, for the princes and children of various families, the Yan family is a "dragon pond and tiger's den" and a "forbidden area of ​​the capital".

Although the Yan family does not know martial arts and is a literary family, the pen in their hand is sharper and more terrifying than the sword in the hand of a general.

Once any bad words or deeds fall into the ears of the Yan family and are recorded in historical records, they will never be washed away and they will become the sinners of the family for generations to come.

"What a big mansion!"

When Wang Chong arrived in a carriage, he was filled with emotion when he saw the row upon row of connected houses with blue bricks and green tiles in front of him.

The Yan family's mansion is not as luxurious as the prince's mansion, and there are no stone lions in front of the gate. It looks very low-key, but the Yan family's mansion and scale are much larger than those of ordinary princes.

Many people know that the Yan family is a civil servant, and they have been extremely low-key and dressed very plainly for generations. Therefore, many people ignore that the Yan family is the Taishi order inherited by generations of descendants and is a truly big family.

Dynasties have changed in China and China, but as an observer of history outside the independent government, no matter what dynasty, the Yan family can always stand firm.

An equivalent part of the Yan family's mansion was a reward from previous kings, and later kings also acquiesced. Instead of taking it back, they gave more.

Most of the houses in the Yan family are used to store and record data.

Wang Chong pondered for a moment and quickly entered the Yan family's mansion.

When Wang Chong entered the Yan family, the entire Yan family was moved by the news. All the Yan family children came out to greet Wang Chong and received Wang Chong with extremely high etiquette.

However, it was not Yan Wenzhang who came to meet Wang Chong, but Yan Lao's son, Yan Wenzhen.

"My father is old and his body is getting weaker. He needs to rest quietly. Many of the information are no longer recorded and are instead recorded by me. These have been approved by the Holy Emperor before. If you have any questions, you can ask me directly. "

Wang Chong was surprised, but considering Yan Lao's age, it was true that he had difficulty moving and lacked energy.

"Master Yan, I'm sorry. I want to find some historical materials related to the affairs in the court. I hope Master Yan can help me."

Wang Chong glanced at the numerous Yan family disciples and explained his purpose.

Yan Wenzhen looked hesitant.

Once the historical materials of the Yan family are written, they will be sealed and stored. People of this dynasty cannot check the affairs of this dynasty. This is a rule to prevent princes and ministers from seeing unfavorable records and wanting to tamper with the materials and beautify themselves. .

Historically, this has happened.

In order to modify and beautify themselves and their families, some princes used all means to send out assassins and steal classics. Some even found masters who imitated notes and tampered with and copied the entire book. However, in the end, they were still investigated by the Yan family. out.

It is because of all kinds of things that have happened, even kings have done this kind of thing, they want to beautify themselves and delete some records that are not good for themselves.

With so many things happening, the Yan family has already made a rule that once all historical materials are sealed, they cannot be consulted. This is true whether it is a king or a prince or a general.

This is a prerequisite for the Yan family to serve as historians for generations, and it is also a prerequisite for being recognized by kings of all generations.

History is not about making a fuss. The Yan family must ensure the authenticity of the history they record.

"I know the rules of the Yan family, and I'm not just looking up my own information. Wang Chong was a well-known 'dandy' in the capital before he was sixteen years old, and he also did things like 'robbing civilian girls'. Who in the capital is this?" I don’t know, Wang Chong is here and has no intention of modifying it.”

As if he knew what Yan Wenzhen was worried about, Wang Chong spoke directly.

Hearing Wang Chong's words, Yan Wenzhen and the surrounding Yan family children breathed a long sigh of relief. As long as Wang Chong didn't come here for this, everything would be fine.

"Your Majesty, unless the Yan family is unwilling, it is true that the Yan family adheres to rules. All rules, let alone outsiders, are not allowed to be passed down between the Yan family's children and father and son. Such a thing also happened during the reign of Emperor Taizong of this dynasty. This matter is known to everyone in the court, so I don’t need to say more about what happened next, so please forgive me, Your Majesty!"

Yan Wenzhen bowed and said sincerely.

Although Wang Chong is now the king of a foreign land and has all the power, principles are principles, and there are some things that the Yan family will not compromise on.

"Master Yan, can you lend me a moment to speak?"

Wang Chong glanced at the Yan family disciples on the left and right, and suddenly said with a serious expression.

Yan Wenzhen's heart skipped a beat and he glanced at Wang Chong in surprise.

"You all stand down!"

Yan Wenzhen gave an order, and all the Yan family's disciples retreated. Soon Yan Wenzhen looked at Wang Chong:

"Can the prince speak now?"

"Master Yan, I am not here for private matters, but for official matters at court. What Wang Chong wants to check is a piece of historical data about the early days of the Holy Emperor."

Wang Chong pondered for a moment and then told the story about the theft of the Holy Emperor's registration information in the palace.

"What?"

Hearing Wang Chong's words, Yan Wenzhen was shocked and opened his eyes wide.

Although the classics in the palace are not under the control of the Yan family, there is an extremely strict system for both inside and outside the palace, as long as they are related to historical materials.

And theoretically, in order to compile history books, all palace classics will be sent by the royal family to the Yan family for review, reference, and compilation. This is also an important part of the Yan family's historical materials.

More importantly, this is a record about the king. No matter who did it, once it spreads, it will be a serious crime of beheading.

"This matter is of great importance. Many things may only be known to your father, so if possible, I still hope to meet Mr. Tai Shiling."

Wang Chongcheng said.

"My lord, if you don't want to, there is really nothing you can do. To be honest, my father is nearly eighty years old, and because he has been compiling historical materials for a long time, day and night, it puts a huge load on his body. Not only does my father not have enough energy to keep up, And sometimes I can’t even remember many things clearly.”

Yan Wenzhen smiled bitterly.

Hearing these words, Wang Chong was immediately shocked. This situation was something he had never expected before coming.

Yan Wenzhen's condition is not unfamiliar to Wang Chong. In another world, it also has a name called Alzheimer's disease, or Alzheimer's disease.

And once this happens, it means that Wang Chong's idea of ​​asking the answer from Tai Shiling's mouth has completely failed.

Wang Chong's heart suddenly sank.

…

"The reason why I succeeded my father is actually for this reason."

Yan Wenzhen said.
