Chapter 731: What Hatred and What Resentment
"Forged successfully?"
"Of course not, it was discovered by the palace. The descendants of the imperial family, how can they forge the identity of the birth mother. However, the child was still recorded under the name of the princess consort, counting as a legitimate son. This matter is recorded in the palace archives. The old people in the palace, some should still remember this matter."
"Great Butler, how can you be so clear about this matter? I think those who know the true identity of the Prince of Cheng, even back then, were not many."
Chen Guanlou was very curious.
The Great Butler gave a chuckle, pointing at himself. "My family has been selling their lives for the Hou Fu since the generation of my great-grandfather. Passed down from generation to generation, you say I can not know?"
Chen Guanlou understood, this is another kind of "family learning origin"!
Many things in this era are not recorded in the books, all relying on oral transmission. And they are generally passed from master to apprentice, or from father to son.
This is also one of the reasons why many secrets and many classics are buried in the long river of history. Things that cannot be left in writing will eventually not be long-lasting.
By the time the generation of the Great Butler is gone, about the identity of the Prince of Cheng, besides the eunuchs who manage the imperial archives, I guess no one knows. All became disappeared secrets.
"Where did the birth mother of the Prince of Cheng go? Did she enter the Wang Fu?"
"No! There is inside information about this, and the specific situation is not clear to the old man. The old man only knows that initially, only the child was hugged into the Wang Fu and recorded under the name of the princess consort."
"In this way, the Marquis of Nanshan Mansion, strictly speaking, is not the mother's clan of the Prince of Cheng. Plus the two sides have long since cut off contact, the Emperor has even less reason to target the Marquis of Nanshan Mansion. You old man analyze and analyze, the Emperor targets the Marquis of Nanshan Mansion, what is the real purpose?"
The Great Butler sipped wine, looking outside the door, his mind a bit drifting.
It seems he can't figure it out, and it seems he can figure it out.
He steadied his mind. "You should know that the Marquis of Nanshan Mansion has a profound foundation and was passed down from the Great Yu Dynasty. It is not prominent in this dynasty, but in the Great Yu Dynasty, the Marquis of Nanshan Mansion was a top-tier wealthy and powerful family. About the Great Yu Dynasty, I guess the whole capital, no one can be more clear than the people of the Marquis of Nanshan Mansion."
"I believe this point! It's just that three hundred years have passed, even if there is really something, it shouldn't be delayed until now, right. So..."
"Actually, all along, from the establishment of the Great Qian Dynasty by Taizu, from the imperial palace to the common people, they have been extremely interested in the history of the first two or three hundred years of the Great Yu Dynasty. Unfortunately, most of the data documents, and even folk wild history, were destroyed in the war. Even the internal personnel of the Great Yu Dynasty royal family couldn't explain many things about their ancestors. Curious?"
Chen Guanlou nodded repeatedly, he was too curious!
He borrowed quite a few books from Pure Yang Zhenren, but most of them were rumors. After all, the ancestors of Pure Yang Zhenren's lineage were just small sects in remote areas, neither having a foundation nor money, and the rumors about the early Great Yu Dynasty were just heard, not seen with their own eyes. All the records, nine out of ten were transferred from others' narrations, not guaranteed to be true.
Pure Yang Zhenren's lineage, properly started to make a fortune, was in the middle and late period of the Great Yu Dynasty, accurately speaking, in the late period. At that time, immortals had become legends, and demons and ghosts specifically referred to the human heart, not the literal meaning.
Pity!
"You are curious, the old man is curious, the city commoners are curious, you guess was Taizu Emperor curious back then? Are the new nobles curious?"
That must be curious!
This point is beyond doubt.
The Great Butler ate a bite of food, sighed quietly, and continued: "According to what the old man knows, from the Taizu years, the royal family has never stopped digging into the history of the early Great Yu Dynasty. It is a serious dig!"
Chen Guanlou nodded knowingly, understand!
Grave robbing is grave robbing, no need to say it so implicitly.
"Three hundred years, a full three hundred years have passed. So far, not a single large tomb of the early Great Yu Dynasty has been excavated, let alone imperial tombs, even the tombs of wealthy and powerful families have not been excavated. Don't talk about excavation, even the specific burial location cannot be found. Gathering the power of the world, gathering the talents of the world, the tomb group that cannot be found, do you say it is strange?"
Too strange!
Chen Guanlou asked a word too many: "Back then Taizu Emperor entered the Yu Capital and inherited part of the property of the Great Yu Dynasty. Is there no news about the tomb group inside?"
"No! Searched the whole imperial palace, imprisoned all the palace people and interrogated them one by one, and didn't find a word of record. It is said that the imperial palace has experienced several wars, and all the document materials, not only early, but also middle, were destroyed in the war. Perhaps, flipping through the descendants of the rebel leaders will have a harvest."
"Inside the Great Yu royal family, there is no secret of oral transmission, password songs, etc.?"
"If there were, why would there be three hundred years of effort." The Great Butler sneered.
"You old man said so much, could it be that the Marquis of Nanshan Mansion has information in this regard, as long as it is found, you can find the tomb group of the early Great Yu Dynasty, reveal the secrets of the early history of the Great Yu Dynasty? Whether there are really immortals in the world, whether there are demons and ghosts, can also be revealed one by one? Even, it is really possible to find a sum of not small treasure?"
Rumor has it that the Great Yu Dynasty was the richest dynasty in all dynasties, possessing massive wealth. But when Taizu Emperor entered the Yu Capital, the treasury of the Great Yu Dynasty was empty and running rats. The golden mountain in the rumor didn't even see a shadow.
Massive wealth disappeared.
Rumor has it again, the Great Yu Dynasty dug countless golden mountains and silver mountains in the early years, and even dug empty the islands where golden mountains were piled up. This is not nonsense, there is evidence to support it. The Great Yu Dynasty has always been popular with gold jewelry, almost every family marrying a daughter and taking a wife, has to prepare gold jewelry. Wealthy families, gold is even more piled up into a basket and a basket.
As if, the whole world has endless gold, and gold is everywhere. Everyone is very curious, where did so much gold come from among the people? There is so much gold among the people, then the royal family and the wealthy families, isn't it really a golden mountain?
The excavated ancient tombs of the Great Yu Dynasty also supported this rumor. The burial of a small local tycoon can fill a coffin with gold jewelry. One can imagine how wealthy the people were back then.
Where did these wealth go?
It can't disappear for no reason, and it's impossible to be buried underground. There should be circulation.
However, the fact is, from Taizu of this dynasty, the financial situation of the Great Qian Dynasty has never been broad, always short of money, and short of money at all times.
The massive wealth of the Great Yu Dynasty, with the destruction of the Great Yu Dynasty, also disappeared in the world.
This matter is too strange!
"The old man doesn't know if the Emperor has this intention. If the Marquis of Nanshan Mansion has clues, as early as Taizu, it would have been explained clearly. Taizu is not a kind person, killing people, all are ten thousand and ten thousand heads falling. Not to mention far, just talk about the late emperor, the late emperor's means were cruel, and extremely greedy for money, from beginning to end did not have the idea of finding clues from the Marquis of Nanshan Mansion."
"Yes, the strange thing is here. The late emperor had no reason to move the Marquis of Nanshan Mansion, why does the current Emperor have a reason? What hatred and what resentment is there inside?" ===== CHAPTER 732 =====
