Big businessman and little fisherman

Chapter 284
February 28, Mrs. Yongyihou's birthday.

As his son, Song Yunfei also rushed back from Dongyang County the night before, firstly to celebrate Mrs. Yongyihou's birthday, and secondly to report back with His Majesty on the progress of digging the late emperor's cemetery.

Early in the morning, Song Yunfei went into the palace to report to the emperor what he had gained these days.

After Chen Quan came down from court, he hurriedly summoned Song Yunfei who had been waiting for a long time: "Aiqing has worked hard, but have you gained anything?"

Although news from Dongyang County has been coming in one after another recently, Chen Quan is not at ease in his heart.

As long as the tomb is not dug out, he will not feel at ease.

"Your Majesty, when I arrived in Dongyang County, I summoned 7000 laborers first, and then added [-] more. Now, there are [-] laborers in Dongyang County's Bingding family. Most of the space between the drinking horse pond and the fairy cave has been emptied. One pit for chariots and horses and one pit for weapons were unearthed first, but the time is short, and for the time being, we can only confirm that they are pits for weapons and horses, as for |..."

Chen Quan couldn't wait to interrupt him, and asked, "Did you find anything?"

Such as valuable gold and silver jewelry, cherish antique calligraphy and paintings and so on.

Lu Yange could say that the tomb below is the emperor's tomb, if it is really the emperor's tomb as she said, then there will be plenty of funeral objects.

Didn't Song Yunfei know what the emperor meant, and hurriedly said: "Some things have indeed been dug up. I have already asked someone to sort them out, and the Ministry of Accounting will take over. In about two days, the Ministry of Accounting will submit the list."

In fact, according to Song Yunfei's thinking, it is natural that this list is best presented by him personally.

It's a pity that those old things in the household department were very wary of him, and immediately sent someone to clean them up and take them away, and he wouldn't let him touch them at all.

This made Song Yunfei somewhat dissatisfied. He wondered whether the Ministry of Households was guarding him, or the emperor was guarding him.

I heard that only one pit for chariots and horses and one pit for weapons were dug, and some things were dug up. Chen Quan was finally comforted.

He can't see whether it is the imperial tomb, but if there are pits for chariots and horses and weapons, it must be a large tomb.

Song Yunfei continued to report: "The main tomb has not been dug yet, because the terrain inside the tunnel is complicated, and there are many organs left by the predecessors, so the progress is slow. According to Weichen and others, it will take at least half a year to dig the main tomb. as long as."

Of course, even if the main tomb is dug, if there is no way to open the mechanism, unless it is violently destroyed, he can't guarantee whether he can open the passage of the main tomb.

However, violent destruction also has disadvantages, no one knows what is going on in the tomb.

If it is destroyed violently, will the funerary objects inside be destroyed together?

These are difficult to predict, which is why Song Yunfei and others are making slow progress.There are ancient tombs and people, so we just dig slowly, and sooner or later they will be dug up.

If you really want to take risks, Song Yunfei is not that stupid.

"Half a year!" Chen Quan's originally high mood was somewhat depressed, and this time seems to be a bit long!
Even if something can be produced from the chariot pit and weapon pit, it is limited.

This ancient tomb of the Han Dynasty has been hundreds of years ago. Even if something can be left in it, it should be decayed and can no longer be used.

Good things are usually placed in the main tomb and the accompanying tomb. Song Yunfei has not even dug out the accompanying tomb, let alone the main tomb, which makes him somewhat disappointed.

Seeing Chen Quan's disappointed expression, Song Yunfei said helplessly: "Your Majesty, Wei Chen, Zhu Xiaowei and others carefully surveyed the terrain of Dayun Mountain, and found that this ancient tomb is very large, and the entire mountain is a huge group of tombs. How many treasures are hidden in it, I dare not guess."

Chen Quan was overjoyed: "Is this true?"

If this is the case, it is the imperial mausoleum.The burials of ordinary people will not occupy the entire mountain, let alone the system does not allow it, even if they really have the money, they dare not be so unscrupulous.

Song Yunfei replied affirmatively: "Really."

In fact, he did not tell Chen Quan the truth. He was able to roughly determine the location of the main tomb of Dayun Mountain, just because he knew that if he dug up the main tomb now, no matter how many rare treasures there were, the later The work can be carried out very well.

Surprises come slowly and step by step, digging out all the treasures at once, so there is no surprise at all.

Therefore, Song Yunfei planned to follow the advice given to him by the people around him, and started excavating from the east of the tomb group, advancing step by step, to perfectly reveal the emperor's tomb.

It also fully fulfills the expectations of the current Holy Majesty for this ancient tomb.

When he opened all the tombs one by one from first to last, from light to heavy, then he would not only make His Majesty look at him with admiration, but also leave his name in history.

Wouldn't it be the best of both worlds.

"Okay, okay..." Chen Quan happily said hello three times: "You have worked hard these days, today is your mother's birthday, as a son, you should stay at home with your father and brother to entertain guests, I will not stay is you."

Chen Quan was very happy to be sure that this ancient tomb was an imperial tomb.

It's hard for Chen Quan to say that Song Yunfei was not good at doing things. He was able to dig out a weapon pit and a chariot pit in a short period of time. He could find out that this is a huge ancient tomb group, and he couldn't say that Song Yunfei didn't do his best for him.

But, why not dig to the main tomb or the accompanying tomb first?
Chen Quan vaguely felt that something was wrong, but could it be said that Song Yufei had no experience.

Otherwise, send someone to assist Song Yunfei in digging this ancient tomb.

Just who to send?
Such as the upstarts of the court like the Song family, it is natural that the government of Zhen Guo, the residence of Ningyuan Marquis, and the residence of Yongyi Marquis are the first to follow.

Unless, he chooses one of the children of the former ministers.

Only in this way can the imperial technique and checks and balances mentioned in the book be achieved.

"His Majesty."

Song Yunfei was not in a hurry to go back to celebrate his mother's birthday, but said to the emperor nervously, "I have one more thing I would like to ask Your Majesty to agree to."

Chen Quan was still thinking about who he would send to check and balance Song Yunfei, but his face was expressionless when he heard the words: "Speak, what's the matter?"

Song Yunfei fell to his knees with a puff: "I want to marry Princess Huaiping, I hope His Majesty will grant you permission."

Chen Quan looked at Song Yunfei who was kneeling on the ground, his eyes were dim.

The entire hall was extremely quiet for a while.

Deng Wuwei, who was waiting on the sidelines, looked at his nose and his heart even more, as if he didn't hear anything.

After a long time, Chen Quan said: "Didn't I promise you that we will discuss this matter after you come back from Dongyang County?"

This Song Yunfei was too impatient, how long did he have to wait?
"Yes, I know, it's just that when I came back last night, I heard that my mother was already seeing me on my behalf..." Song Yunfei was also very helpless. His daughter-in-law was chosen.

At that time, he can't regret the marriage.

Not to mention that his parents didn't agree, even the emperor and queen couldn't agree to him doing such a thing.
