Chapter 1960 The Secret of the Holy Emperor!
"In October, on Zhuque Street, the third son Xuan met the beautiful Hu Ji, killed the prince of Shan Kingdom, and took him away in anger... When everyone knew about this, the emperor was furious..."
"In January of the fourteenth year, there was a flood in Quzhou. The relief money was embezzled... and the imperial censor was ordered to conduct a thorough investigation... San Zixuan was involved, and loan sharks were secretly released in Quzhou... He was furious and ordered the clan government to Thorough investigation!”
…
Seeing each item on it, Wang Chong's eyebrows beat, and he felt horrified.
Make the prisoner a horse...make the prisoner fight each other...bet with the prince...beat the Imperial College angrily...steal auspicious beasts...lynching the palace people...kill the Prince of Shanguo...make usury money privately..., these one after another, One by one, Wang Chong was frightened.
"Is this really the Holy Emperor?"
Wang Chong murmured to himself, feeling confused.
No matter which way you look at it, what is recorded here is an arrogant, lustful, violent, bold, and incompetent foolish prince, which is in no way related to the image of a wise king.
But the records of the palace censor will not be false. Although the palace historian is not like the Yan family, his words are also very precise. Moreover, the palace historian is directly appointed by the emperor. Even the emperor has no right to interfere and cannot interfere. The above words are absolutely authentic.
But..., what happened?
An unworthy prince who had no etiquette and raped the Imperial Academy, and so many bad things, Wang Zhong suddenly understood why Gao Lishi burned them to cover up for the Holy Emperor.
But what happened in the middle?
Why did the "San Zixuan", who was explicitly pointed out by the Supreme Emperor as incompetent and unable to inherit the throne, suddenly become the Holy Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, a wise king admired by all the people in the world?
These two people have completely opposite personalities, how could they be the same person? !
At this moment, Wang Chong felt that his mind was in chaos.
Countless thoughts came to him, and in the dark, the Pisces jade pendant given to him by the Holy Emperor suddenly appeared in front of Wang Chong's eyes. The jade pendant kept rotating, and the two lifelike black and white fish on it seemed to rotate along with it.
At this moment, a ridiculous idea suddenly appeared in Wang Chong's mind, but was quickly rejected by him.
"There's still a lot missing, a little bit of the most critical information..."
Wang Chong raised his head and muttered to himself.
It's like a jigsaw puzzle. I have seen a lot, but the core and most critical piece is always missing, so that I cannot connect all the information together to form a complete pattern.
Wang Chong continued to "dig" downwards.
Oh, Wang Chong thought, and in an instant, all the burned books flew out.
When he saw the last note flying out, Wang Chong's pupils shrank and his expression suddenly changed.
This note was completely different from the other notes. What was recorded on it was not San Zixuan's misdeeds, but a trivial matter that seemed normal in the palace.
"...In March, the third son Xuan became seriously ill and suffered a severe fever in the Jade Dragon Palace....Three days later, Xuan woke up and his personality changed drastically. He dismissed the palace maids and treated all the internal guards well..."
boom!
Seeing this short line of words, Wang Chong's whole body shook suddenly, and his heart was horrified.
Serious illness...fever...wake up...temperature changed...
Wang Chong is no stranger to these. More than two years ago, he traveled through time and was reborn, and the words recorded in this narrow palace historical materials,
Generally the same.
"How can it be?"
In the dark, as if a bolt of thunder leaped into his mind, Wang Chong suddenly opened his eyes wide, holding the narrow piece of paper, his whole body trembling.
A person can change his diet at will, but he can never change his personality overnight.
More importantly, the content recorded on it is very similar to him.
Before the age of eighteen, the Holy Emperor was unworthy of the "San Zi Xuan", but after the age of eighteen, he became wise and powerful and became the Holy King respected by the world.
Before the age of sixteen, I was also a well-known playboy in the capital, fighting cocks and walking dogs, with no knowledge or skills. After sixteen, in just a few short years, I became the marshal of the world's soldiers and horses, and even Even other countries are afraid.
Wang Chong had never thought that the life trajectories between himself and the Holy Emperor were so similar, almost exactly the same.
The same person, two lives, could it be said that the Holy Emperor is the same as himself...
Wang Chong didn't think about it anymore. The truth came too suddenly and was too shocking.
Even if Wang Chong had this idea in his mind before, he quickly rejected it because it was so ridiculous!
Can there really be two such people in the same world?
What is even more shocking is that if everything is really as imagined, what roles did Eunuch Gao, Grandpa, Prime Minister Yao, and the old man of the Yan family play?
Do any of them know the truth? One, or several?
What did Mr. Yao guess again?
Or perhaps, they didn't guess at all, but simply reached an agreement, wanting to cover up the disgraceful past for the Holy Emperor and maintain the image of the Holy Emperor as a wise king.
But if everything is as he imagined, then what does the current change of the Holy Emperor mean? Could it be that Sanzi Xuanmata...
There was silence in the room. Wang Chong stood there for a long time, motionless.
Wang Chong didn't know how he got out of this mansion. Until he saw Xu Qiqin and others outside the door, Wang Chong's mind was still confused and in chaos.
"Did you find the answer?"
Xu Qiqin said with concern, and the silver bell-like voice rang in her ears. She could feel that Wang Chong's current mental state was very unstable, which made her a little worried.
"Um!"
Wang Chong nodded:
"I have some ideas in my mind, but they still need some verification. I will tell you when the time is right."
Xu Qiqin didn't ask any more questions, just nodded empathetically, and the group left quickly.
…
Time passed slowly. The secret books lost in the palace, the hidden truths, including the unspeakable secrets about himself, were all buried deep in Wang Chong's heart.
There are some things that cannot be said and cannot be said, but deep in Wang Chong's heart, he is no longer as confused as before.
Time moved forward, when Wang Chong was investigating the Holy Emperor incident——
Starting from the capital, we went all the way north, passing through the grasslands outside the Great Wall, crossing the Great Turkic Grasslands, running through thousands of miles of no-man's land in the north, crossing Lake Baikal, and then continuing north, we arrived at the extreme north of the entire land world.
This place is far away from human civilization and is desolate. Even the Turkic herdsmen and some scattered barbarians are unwilling to reach such a remote place.
"Jingle Bell!"
Suddenly, a crisp ringing of bells rang, and within a moment, two teams of people were galloping rapidly on the vast and barren land, approaching each other continuously.
Looking carefully, the two groups of men and horses were covered with heavy armor, and the saddles next to them were equipped with standard swords, spears, and crossbows. They were not Turkic cavalry, but Tang Dynasty cavalry.
It was the elite cavalry sent by Wang Chong to the far north to investigate the news.
More than twenty days have passed since they received the order. The group was cautious, hiding their traces, and had no dangers along the way. Finally, they crossed the Turkic steppe and arrived at this extremely vast no-man's land.
In this vast and flat area, they have already encountered several waves of dangers, including cavalry from unknown forces, tribal warriors, wolves that appeared late at night, poisonous snakes... and even some giant bears that came from nowhere. Under the horse's neck, there was a bell whose sound could travel hundreds of miles. They contacted each other and finally arrived here without any danger.
"It's so cold!"
After a while, the two teams converged. At the forefront of the cavalry, on the back of a pure white war horse, was a tall, muscular man who looked very strong. His eyes were sharp, looking at the far north. direction, and let out a breath of cold air.
Since a few days ago, the surrounding scenery has become different. The sparse withered grass on the ground is covered with frost, and the whole world is coated with a light layer of white. The further north, the colder the heavier the frost and snow on the ground. It's also getting heavier.
The cold wind blows, and you can even see the fine snow seeds with the naked eye.
"Get ready. Take out your leather cloak. If we go a thousand miles further, the mission will be over. We will report back to the prince immediately after we have investigated the information here!"
The cavalry leader on horseback said with a stern look on his face.
Those who arrived here were all elites, each with strong Gang Qi and strong ability to withstand the cold. However, as the cold deepened all the way north, everyone felt that the consumption of Gang Qi was accelerating, and it became increasingly difficult to support them.
"drive!"
After giving the order, without saying a word, everyone took out the leather cloaks they had prepared in advance and quickly put them on, gathered into a long team, and headed towards the north.
"call!"
Unconsciously, the cold wind howled and the deserted wind and snow swept in.
It is hard to imagine that the entire China is still peaceful, the trees are growing extremely lush, and the cattle and sheep are quietly eating weeds on the grassland, but here, the wind and snow are howling, and it is extremely cold.
The howling cold wind blew against him, as sharp as a sword, even the war horse was affected. Everyone had to channel their Gangqi to help the war horses resist the wind and cold.
"Look, there's a forest ahead!"
Suddenly, someone pointed forward and shouted.
For a time, everyone became energetic and looked forward one after another. Sure enough, on the horizon ten miles away, a tall white forest rose from the ground, looking very eye-catching.
Having a forest means you can temporarily avoid the wind and snow, and you can also take a break.
"Walk!"
Everyone clamped their horses' bellies, accelerated their speed, and quickly headed north, quickly entering the white forest.
In this inaccessible land in the far north, the trees are tall and strong. They have grown freely for hundreds of thousands of years. Each tree is thirty or forty meters high. There are even some trees that reach nearly a hundred meters. Shockingly high.
Such a tall tree can already be called a sacred tree in China.
When everyone entered this primitive far north forest, sure enough, the wind and snow became much lighter.
As elites in the military, everyone has already cooperated with each other tacitly. When the wind and snow begin to calm down, a group of people prepares to set up camp and rest temporarily, while another group of people is responsible for guarding the surrounding areas.
