Tibet

Chapter 521 A first exploration of Qiaoling
Dugulie walked a few steps with his hands behind his back: "Your guess is very reasonable. I guess that's what happened. Feilong must have reached a similar agreement with the emperor, and the emperor also swore a poisonous oath. Only then could Ye'er be promoted to Changjun so quickly. The king is only one step away from the prince. The emperor is fulfilling his promise, but the emperor is not willing to let Ye'er have the right to inherit the throne, so he simply makes An Lushan a prince to dilute Ye'er's princely status.

If the emperor then makes Ye'er a prince, then Geshu Han, or someone from the Yang family, it will confirm our guess. "

Dugu Ming smiled bitterly, "Either cancel An Lushan's title of prince, or everyone can be crowned prince, and then the edict will make it clear that this prince is not that prince.

But the trouble now is that even if An Lushan and Ge Shuhan are princes, the court will not think that they have the right to inherit the throne. But Ye'er belongs to the royal family and is named a prince by the royal family, which is different from them!

I remember that Wu Zetian had issued a decree in the name of the Queen of Heaven that all Tang royal families could be crowned princes. Therefore, other branches of the royal family such as Li Linfu were eager to try, and everyone wanted to be crowned princes and succeed to the throne.

It's not that the emperor didn't know, then the only way was to kill someone with a borrowed knife and use others to get rid of Ye'er, so he didn't violate the poisonous oath. "

Dugu Lie was silent for a moment and said, "Do you want to tell Ye'er?"

Dugu Ming said slowly: "It depends on the emperor's attitude! If Ye'er really makes him a prince, we will tell him."

After riding the carriage back, his daughter Xingguan had fallen asleep in Li Ye's arms. The carriage was very quiet. Li Ye was still thinking about the conversation with his father-in-law and Uncle Dugu. It turned out that Dugu Ming was also Feilong's apprentice. It was really unexpected. No wonder he Knowing so many things about the palace, no wonder he knew about Cheng Qianli and asked Dugu Lie to pass the news to his father. This was Feilong's legacy to him!
But what Li Ye didn't expect was that the emperor was so afraid that he was the descendant of Feilong. He asked him to go to Hezhong as the governor and to Anxi as the governor, most likely to test himself.

Maybe there are still many secrets between the emperor and Feilong that he doesn't know.

If you want to protect yourself, you must understand the secrets of the emperor and the flying dragon. The flying dragon will definitely tell you where these secrets are hidden.A voice in his heart told Li Ye that the secret was hidden in Qiaoling.

Li Ye also wanted to open Qiaoling and have a look when he came back this time, so he arranged the army in the northeast camp of Fengtian County. Qiaoling is in Fengtian County, but he originally wanted to wait until the Anlu Mountain rebellion became clear next year. He then opened the secret room in Qiaoling and transferred his wealth to Ganzhou, Hexi.

But now, he can't wait anymore. He must open the secret room of Qiaoling as soon as possible and find the secret that Feilong left for him.

Holding his beloved daughter in his arms, Li Ye ignited a huge fighting spirit in his heart. Even for the sake of his child, he would continue to fight with the emperor. He would never compromise or be killed.

Li Ye pondered for a moment and asked: "Xinyue, can Xingguan leave you for a day?"

Dugu Xinyue was surprised, thought for a while and said: "One day is fine, with a wet nurse taking care of her, she will cry once at most."

"One day is enough. I want to open the Qiaoling secret room and take a look. Then you and your mother will guard the door of the secret passage for me."

Dugu Xinyue was a little worried and asked: "Do you have to open it now?"

Li Ye nodded, "I think Feilong hides a secret in the secret room, which is related to my life and safety."

Dugu Xinyue nodded, "Okay! My mother and I will help you then."

The risk of entering the secret passage for the first time was too great. He had to have someone wait outside with the blueprints to open the secret passage. But he could not give the blueprints to any outsiders, not even his own soldiers. He could only trust his mother and wife. .

Early the next morning, Li Ye came to the Taipingfang secret room. This time, he took out all the things in the secret room, including 5000 taels of gold and other items hidden in the secret room.

He had an intuition that this secret room would be discovered sooner or later and it would take three months to open, so he might as well move the things away now.Li Ye transported all the boxes and weapons back to his mansion for temporary storage, and then went to Fengxian County alone.

In the afternoon, Li Ye arrived at Fengtian County. He asked passers-by about the location of Qiaoling, and then urged his horse to run towards Qiaoshan.

Qiaoling Mausoleum is located in Qiaoshan, thirty miles northwest of Fengxian County. The mausoleum is large and easy to find. A huge cemetery has been built. On both sides of the cemetery avenue, various huge stone animals and horses stand majestically.

At the end of the avenue is the majestic dedication hall, more than a dozen towers, lower palaces, and mausoleum offices. There are dedicated mausoleum guarding officials and [-] soldiers responsible for guarding the mausoleum, as well as [-] mausoleum households.

The so-called mausoleum household means that their tax burden is used to maintain the mausoleum.

Li Ye used a dagger to cut open the gold box that looked like a pack of cigarettes. Inside was a roll of white silk. Unfolding the white silk, it turned out to be a map, which clearly marked the entrance to the secret passage, as well as the opening and closing of the secret passage. Tao way.

In fact, he did not enter the inside of the mausoleum, but entered a secret room, which was only about ten feet away from the outside, within a corner of the edge of the mausoleum.

What Li Ye wants to take is not the burial object that Emperor Li Longji of the Tang Dynasty buried in his father's mausoleum, but the wealth Feilong accumulated over the past 30 years, which he stored in a secret room in the mausoleum.

Feilong visited the tomb many times but was not discovered by the soldiers guarding the tomb, indicating that the entrance to the secret room was in a remote place.

Sure enough, Li Ye found the entrance on the map, located in the northwest corner of the mausoleum.

At this time, night had quietly fallen. Li Ye walked around to the northwest of the mausoleum, climbed over the wall and entered the cemetery. The palace, soldier barracks, and mausoleum avenue were all to the south, while the north was full of pines and cypresses.

Li Ye walked through the woods, the thick pine needles rustling under his feet. The surroundings were very quiet, and there was no one except him.

After all, the mausoleum has been there for decades. No matter how dedicated the soldiers guarding the tomb are, they are tired. No one will come here unless they are chopping down trees. However, the trees on the bridge mountain outside the mausoleum are even taller, and the entire bridge mountain is also designated as the scope of the imperial mausoleum. , no one is allowed to chop wood and hunt.

In just a moment, Li Ye found the entrance. A hole dug in a pile of earth had been obscured by lush weeds. On the surface, this hole looked no different from other holes. There was no difference when digging the pile of earth. Meaning, there is a huge granite stone wall inside, which is made up of extremely strong large bluestone strips. Only by finding the tomb passage can the tomb be opened, otherwise even with explosives, there is no way to open the tomb.

Although the tombs of emperors of the Tang Dynasty were robbed by Wen Tao during the Five Dynasties and all the belongings inside were plundered, it seems that only Qianling and Qiaoling were not robbed.

Li Ye pulled out his sword and chopped down the weeds in the cave, and then scraped away a thick layer of soil. Li Ye saw the stone strips. The craftsmen who repaired the tomb were extremely smart and built a secret room here. Of course, , I don’t know what their motive was for building the secret chamber. The secret chamber is only outside the mausoleum and cannot be entered inside the mausoleum. More than forty years have passed. The craftsmen who built the secret chamber have long since died, but the secret chamber remains.

Li Ye flicked the fire folder and looked carefully at how to open the map. There were numbers engraved on the bluestone. Push the 13-yuan bluestone inside in a special order, and the secret door will open. Then push a piece of bluestone at will, and the secret door will open. It would take three months to open again after being closed. Shi Kun almost sealed Feilong and Mingsong in the secret passage.

It would take three months before it could be opened again. If Li Ye realized something, the people who built the secret passage of the mausoleum and the people who built the secret chamber of Taipingfang should be the same group.

Li Ye finally restrained the urge to push away the bluestone strip. He had to let his mother and wife guard the secret passage door for him.
